Deloitte, Capgem, or Slalom? I’m early in my career and wondering if I should move to either of these firms or stay at PwC’s Salesforce practice. Currently underpaid and looking to move for pay, skill growth and longterm career trajectory

Sometimes for growth to happen, a job change is the best solution. Remember, with it comes assimilating into a new environment: learning new processes/coming up to speed quickly, proving yourself--building trusting relationships with peers, et al. If I'm not mistaken, depending on role/responsibilities, time to productivity in large consulting firms is about 6-10 months.

Keeping pace with earning potential, growth, and career goals require a proactive career management strategy (period). We have to own it.

E.g., I know people who have been satisfied, and not, within PwC, Deloitte, and Slalom (Capgemini I'm not fond of). I know people that didn't have work/life balance but were working for brands renowned for the same. In resolving, some did it by staying, others by leaving.

When helping someone with career needs, I first assess the lift: career enhancement or career improvement. Enhancement points to making a good thing, better. Improvement points to making a not-so-good thing, better.

Enhancement, more often than not, is best achieved by staying the course--not changing jobs, but with new perspectives and new strategies in attaining your goals. When successful, an empowering process and game-changing. When not, the benefits are just as impactful (happy to elaborate).

Where improvement tends to require job change.

So my questions for you might be: Do you need to enhance your career or improve it? Are you open to new perspectives/new strategies in elevating your PwC job? If a job change is the best solution, have you considered other prospects--outside of Slalom and Deloitte (again, Capgemini I'm not fond of)?

And finally, with our economy sending mixed signals. Trending downward. Does walking away from the job security you (might) have now make sense or should you pause, regardless of the lift, and focus on elevating your current situation?

I have acquaintances at Capgemini, Deloitte, Cognizant and PwC. I am at Slalom. We all underwent the same classroom-style Salesforce training. We're all had some kind of comp sci/coding fundamentals.

Of all the companies I listed, I am without a doubt making the most $$, and have learned the most. The other person who has progressed the most skills wise is the person at CG. Everyone else at the big firms are sitting around, waiting for the bureaucracy to hand down the occasional flow/ trigger, but mainly it's admin work to be implemented. They're definitely behind skills wise.

I think I'll out earn them now, but I'm certain their ceiling is much higher than mine. But the difference is, if we were all to job hop today, I'd be a level above them all, because I've had such dynamic projects to work on.

Slalom or Deloitte, depending on your preference, as they are very different. Deloitte will be much closer to what you're used to at PwC, for better or for worse.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
