yo stop looking at just initial base offer...look at 2, 5, and 10 year pay growth. ZS pays pretty well in that regard (and better than accenture/b4)

smart

yeah, most firms start very similarly in base but the difference shows in years after. make sure to research pay growth and progression times as you evaluate offers.

smart

when I started in Princeton my base was $60k. kids these days. *waves fist at cloud*

funny

I live in the area and got 87+10k signing for analyst at Accenture. I know of others that got relo on top of that. Surprised this is what ZS is offering tbh

Not really. Standard A for them is 80-90

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
