Between Slalom and Accenture, which offer would you pick if most other things were equal (role, salary) and why? I’m super conflicted

If you’re early in your career, I would pick Accenture (or stay in Deloitte but assuming you’re leaving for pay) and grind out the terrible hours to learn and grow at a faster pace. If you’re later into your career, and you want to have more personal time to focus on other things outside of work and rapidly building skills is no longer the number one priority then go with Slalom. Accenture offered me a higher salary but I went with Slalom.

This is correct. Our promotion path sucks. If you value getting new titles and getting big raises, don’t come here. We get paid well, don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy, but we aren’t known for big raises and bonuses. Most folks come to slalom to get off the road and enjoy some WLB, then we jump to industry. This is exactly what I’m doing. 6 years on the road. Coming up on 4.5 at slalom, and about to jump to a Director role in industry with another 30% pay bump. Circle of life

Also those are like fundamentally different... what are you conflicted about? What do you like/dislike about the two? They’re not equal opportunities, it will come down to what you care about more, which isn’t something we can help you with

Accenture absolutely has a bigger brand recognition than Slalom

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

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?
