Being offered a title lower than my current role by Slalom. Hoping for a salary raise though. Worth taking it? How’s the promotion like? I want to exit to a tech company as PM

Be wary - there is massive title inflation at Slalom since their latest organizational updates (around a year ago). A manager at big 4 would be a “principal” at slalom now. Someone with 7 YOE would be a “senior principal.” My point is that they might be even offering you two titles lower, if the titles sound similar.

DL, unfortunately. Definitely a few SP at 9-10 YoE. Just trying to baseline that a 7 YoE is rare though, obviously depends on practice/market.

Slalom is not a pay master. They pay less and make it via better WLB and almost no travel(local projects). Promotions depend on the regular factors. The more money you bring in, faster you climb

Generally it is roping in new clients or getting new work at current clients

Also looking at slalom- following

like

What's the city, group you're joining, YOE, and title you're being offered? That will help give you a range for pay

Also my WLB was worse at slalom than any of my other employers, and I had to work with some major turds. No “travel” but there were projects where I had to commute to clients 2 hours one way all week. Your experience will vary immensely by market.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
