Cornerstone wins on brand but you can get pigeonholed
Decision analytics at ZS is a really cool role in terms of the skills you use, I think an exit to something like product analyst, product growth, decision science is well on the cards
KPMG seems like a solid gig, but the other two are a bit sexier
These options are quite different so what you pick is more your speed.
I have never heard of Cornerstone having a Seattle office, so if there is one now I'd assume its small. If I had to guess that office would probably do a lot of work with tech (antitrust, IP, product etc) and exits would lean to that.
Like above I've also heard ZS decision science is pretty cool. You can probably get similar exits from ZS and Cornerstone since they are both analytically focused.
Don't know much about KMPG
ah my bad, I wrote this in a hurry. ZS would be in Seattle and cornerstone in LA. thank you for the insight though!
