For those that made the jump to Slalom or North Highland or a similar firm, how did you find the change? How much staff aug work is there and what are typical exit opps?

+1 to knowing the answer to this

+1 - would like to know this as well. Is Slalom only staff aug? Are salaries comparable to Big 4?

A good friend of mine did this and is miserable and is trying to come back. He isn't happy with the caliber of his co-workers. (I have no experience working with either firm so can only report third hand.)

Waiting for the few Slalom guys to chime in that always try to upsell what Slalom does and how the work is more cutting edge. Which is not to say that there aren't any cool projects but I just don't see it being on par with Big4 in any aspect

I might need to repost this.. posting a serious topic on a Thursday afternoon was probably a mistake.

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice
