Would go with ZS but I am bias.

3 years minimum is only for internal, if you are external and perform well, you can make it faster, but it's very rare.

I'd also recommend looking into the P&LS space. Supposedly longer hours but the most interesting work IMO.

That’s good to know, thanks. I’ll see how much opportunity there is to work across different practices but I have already gone through the current process and am evaluating offers now.

Quite a big difference between the ZS practices you mention in both work and culture. I like both, but they do mean very different things.

Makes sense, I believe my role will be working with both practices closely as well so definitely nice to have the variety.
