Hi Fishies! (Is that what we are? I’m going with it)
I just came across a Google Research and Insights role that got me SUPER excited and I was about to apply when I had the idea of seeing if anyone would be willing to give me a referral. I understand (and respect) that most of you Googlers on here feel that a referral is only useful if you know the person but I would be happy to jump on the phone to give you some info about me. It would mean so much! 4 YOE at a major audio steaming service

ZS probably. Exit opportunities including business school probably more established from ZS than from a boutique. MBA sponsorship, wider client relationships, international opportunities... All things to consider.
all good points, thanks!
These posts don’t work because ZS has 6,000+ employees and dominate this platform...
Let us know what you decide on.
What’s the client exposure like at the second firm? You can always lateral to ZS at the Consultant level if that’s what you want!
I'd imagine exposure and responsibilities will be higher at the boutique. thanks for the advice!
FWIW, am at a boutique now, going to an M7, have a life sci VC pre-MBA internship. Exit opps are what you make of them from either - they will generally get you to the same spot if you grind.
If the thinking is that the ZS brand will open more doors.. it probably won’t. Most places won’t care. Would definitely opt for higher comp, title, and more responsibility
20% higher comp? Make your own exit ops. Take it
I’ve never done the boutique side, but have been at ZS for 5 years and probably going to be a lifer lolz. The opportunities are awesome if you set out for them - and the people are generally great.
Obviously has the usual stressors of consulting still - but I find them manageable. Happy to chat more if you want to DM!
Go for more cash!

Agree go for more cash after 12 months circle back to ZS with additional hike this kind of compounding is hard to beat
