ZS vs KPMG vs Roland Berger? US NE office

Have an offer to join rb or zs trying to determine if I should. strategy work at KPMG almost non existent in my practice. Not super hyped on healthcare but also don’t mind it. What are your thoughts? It’s basically ZS brand in NA seems to be better than RB, RB has more diverse clients and strong brand in EU

Roland Berger is a myth.

I’ve yet to actually meet anyone that works there.

According to my friend who worked in their London office the hours were insane - he clocked 70-80+ regularly - never met a single other person who worked for them though

Why not wait and try to get an offer somewhere else

I might go ZS

Happy to share more but here’s the down-low:
+: Salary & benefits are competitive, bonus range particularly good v. non MBB players, Boston office partners are all really approachable, office is in great location (if that matters anymore), great expense/travel policy (i.e., firm isn’t cheap), international staffing (pre-COVID)
-: Long hours (COVID made this worse), very focused on industrials/auto/chemicals, projects can be verrry technical (read as borderline engineering/German methodology to consulting is brutal), getting cross-staffed on projects you have no business being staffed on because the US practice is small

Yup!

No obvious choice here, but depends on what you're looking to do. Life science? ZS. Auto? RB. Due diligence (especially ODD)? Kpmg

“You’re”

What level and experience are you?

Pay is competitive (e.g. 160-170k with 20-40% bonus for Sr Consultant position; can be directly promoted without MBA and receive the same pay). Also, the work isn’t actually mechanical - i would say a lot of my projects had a very tailored methodology for the client/project and required a lot of critical thinking. The “German” roots are more true for our Auto practice maybe - I didn’t experience much of that. I think RB1 was a bit harsh because you can actually have a voice in staffing. Regardless, hours are long and many are expected to take part in firm initiatives outside of project work since it’s small

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
