Hello,
So, I recently received an offer to work with ZS as a BA at their office in Princeton. I do not know much about consulting or the business world in generaly but I'm really hoping something like this will prepare me well. From reading the posts it seems many concerns over the "boredom" of the work. I'm sure some work is boring and some is exciting, I'm not too concerned with that but if someone would like to shed light on that, that would be appreciated my main questions are:
If I'm doing Pharma at Princeton, how hard (if I perform well the first year) is it to jump into other industries in other places?
How common or hard is it to be relocated to other offices or posts abroad? I know it's dependent on my abilities and he needs of the office, but, in general, is it very common, or is implicity frowned upon?
In general, is ZS very flexible? One should interpret that however one would like.
*I know some people got probs with ZS, cool, if you would like to share your opinion, please, be my guest, just don't overwhelm the topic with complaints.
Thanks. |

ZS is flexible with regard to opportunities (with the acknowledgement of the caveats you mentioned). Strong performance in your first 1 - 2 years can open many different doors. There are examples of people who have moved to other offices within and outside the US. That said, it is very important to develop skills and gain experience that will show your ability to learn and contribute - explore as many different project types and situations as you can. If you have a specific office or industry in mind, I would also recommend getting to know some people in that area and get their advice as well. Good luck!
