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...

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.

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.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
