Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctc: 13 lpa
Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa.
After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).
Queries:
1. Is this normal or rare case, reducing the offer amount from what quoted initially?
2. Should I accept or negotiate?
I don't have any other offer as of now.

Come to Slalom! Projects are local-market based with no travel.
Go internal, try to work something out with project leadership, transfer to advisory (if you’re in consulting), leave Deloitte and go to industry, stop working all together...
@deloitte2 are your exit opps mostly in the public sector? If not, what are some common types of private sector exits?
Slalom. We have ex Deloitte consultants come over to us for that exact reason. Most of them that I’ve talked to didn’t mention taking a pay cut.
Booz Allen, federal side. Rarely travel at all, and those trips are almost always voluntary
@ba1 you give me hope. How can I get more details?
My wife at mck is mostly local so she can spend more time with our kids. They have more flexibility on being local and her industries align with our home city
A1: Everyone's situation is unique and the needs different at each office. Honestly, just do a little research on the company and reach out. Conversations are free.
A1: also, I was with Accenture for 6 years prior and have since added 3 kids to the fleet...get to coach, be their den leader, and eat dinner with them.
SC4 - Love that, being a present Dad is so important

S1, how does slalom pay in comparison to big4. Way too less? Competitive or slightly less?
Hmmm had considered everything except moving to advisory. Is that less travel? What’s the work like ( in consulting )
@C1, I would agree with my colleague, SC2. I haven't heard of anyone taking a pay cut, but I'm also not high enough to know people's salaries either.
How is Slalom work wise? Looked at job postings. What is equivalent or higher to a SM in Slalom?
Deloitte Federal doesn’t travel either. You just have to move to DC.
@s1 nice! Ill have to check that out too.
SM1: A senior manger at slalom is like a Client Service Lead. This company is FULL of ex Accenture and ex Deloitte people and has the culture more of a west coast tech company. I'm from Accenture and love it here at slalom
Ok need to explore slalom. Is it worth trying to move to Bain, McKinsey, AT Kearney etc. atleast earn more if you have to travel?
OP switch to an enabling role, for example Methods and Tools.
