Would anyone working at ZS Associates be willing to discuss day-to-day work and type of projects, preferably at the consultant level? Trying to make the switch to strategy consulting and want to see if my background would fit what they are looking for. I would really appreciate any time anyone has, even if it’s just for an email or two.

They are very different. IQVIA is a public company. Their main product is data.
ZS is in general a nice place to work at. Pay is decent too. But only 5-10% of what they do is considered strategy. For instance, they have a huge BT arm.
LEK is considered 100% strategy and pays the highest. The exits would be better but hours can be a little higher compared to ZS depending on your level.
C1, yeah AFAIK the SIP track in our APAC offices run on a generalist model (might have some alignment to specific practice areas but no official teams like in the US)
ZS has the best culture and credibility, LEK is a grind but pays well and IQVIA is not in the same zip code 😂
LEK2, able to share what are some main differences between the 2 firms you have experienced? Also is this experience APAC-specific?
Iqvia beats ZS ass in Europe and APAC as Vault rankings have continously proven
Not that Vault rankings matter…. but didn’t ZS rank #3 in healthcare consulting behind McK and BCG this year? IQVIA was #8, no?
Also interested in the same for EU 👍🏻
