I’ve heard Slalom is at the top for WLB

Can confirm. My managers have let me turn down projects that I was not comfortable with and usually the hours are 9-5. Sometimes it’s less sometimes a little more. Clients treat us as employees which can be good and bad. Sometimes it feels like staff aug but the projects are generally pretty interesting.

KPMG is one of the better firms from a wlb perspective. Slalom or similar are probably tops.

Look into middle market firms. GT has better WLB than big 4. Probably true for RSM and BDO too.

I agree. GT is great for WLB, especially for govt consulting. I’m exiting to capital one for a nice pay bump

Slalom!

Thanks everyone... how does Slalom rank in terms of compensation? I've set an ambitious goal for myself to be making $200K by the time I'm 35-40yrs old. Is this possible at Slalom? What levels?

You can make 6 figures as a Consultant.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
