Are your firms still experiencing big layoffs?
For my folks at Deloitte , which would you choose
1.GPS, 4-5 days in office due to SCIF related work and long commute
2.USDC, wfh 3-5 days and commute would be short if I ever have to go in.
Do any USDC positions require a clearance and if not could they hold it?
Keep in mind, I don’t have salary information yet
And is the Delivery Center that bad? I read a lot of reviews on it here....LOL
Does 401k count as savings?

Extra context for you - ACN here but not cloud. The bonus band for L7 (at least in my group) is 0-31%, with the majority between 8-15%. Based on your start date, you likely won’t get a bonus at ACN until November next year (our fiscal year is 9/1-8/31).
My understanding is that due to Slalom’s flat mode, it might be years before you get promoted above SC (I think principle is next). Whether that matters to you depends on what you’d want to do next but the M title is definitely a difference maker for ACN. If you haven’t yet tried to negotiate with S and you’d rather go there, might be worth asking leveraging the ACN offer to see if they’ll bump you up a level.
Can’t really speak to which is better since I am not an engineer or in the cloud space.
It depends on your focus area and where you see yourself in 5 years.
If you have a mentor/leader you like at Accenture go there, else I think Slalom would be a better choice if you can get that salary to 190+.
Tried the negotiation with Slalom but they told me it’s already the upper limit

I’d go Accenture. Being a Manager is better and even if you don’t like it, you’ll have better exit opps with that title.

Accenture laid off thousands during covid last year . Try to find employers who are compassionate.
Slalom laid off zero. So- what’s important to you, OP?
Slalom offers 180 for SC? Man I was seriously low balled!
How many YoE OP?
That’s solid for SC from slalom, what is your YOE?

I’ve heard ACN culture is awful. And I know from experience Slalom is all over the place with little room for advancement. My advice would be to be patient and target industry roles instead. Your base could be the same or slightly lower, but you’ll get RSUs in most cases and better culture most times.
I have heard that ACN culture is terrific. It may depend on the practice I suppose. Certain leadership may not be the best but the overall impression I got from my colleagues is that it is a great culture for the industrious.
L7, ACN
It’s a pay cut if u go to slalom. The benefits are worst, you pay more for health insurance and crappier 401k. Accenture also gives you espp and as a manager and above ur qualified for 2 types of bonuses. Slalom gives you more community and wlb.
Slalom bonus is unlikely to break 12-15%- benefits get trashed on FB but I am a recent B4 refugee and I find them reasonably comparable. Annual merit increases at Slalom don’t compare at all- better elsewhere, but in a year I have worked maybe 2 weekends compared to 3 out of nearly every 4 on average at B4. I also generally don’t work nights anymore and working til 8-12 was standard at B4. Working that late is really unusual. So if you are primarily looking for cash, ACN will probably mostly beat Slalom. If you are looking for WLB- Slalom is going to be more likely a better bet. And Slalom won’t ask you to travel- almost all client work is local, so you lose your miles but get back your Sunday night at home. You will also hear a lot here about Tier one through whatever, but I work for the same clients as I did with B4 doing similar transformation projects, so- the status to clients is similar.

Go to Accenture
What is the market you're getting the Slalom SC offer for? I am curious what Texas' is.
#1. Not sure why this is a tie?
Why not?
Is that a normal salary for L7? I am joining a L9 at 130 in a MCOL city, Applied Intelligence practice. Was I low balled?
Thanks for the reply. I was confused there for a second and had to negotiate hard for my comp. recruiter was really nice and patient with me, which helped out a lot.
