Welcome to slalom - why I left and went back - you traded pay for lifestyle
I'd ask your leadership for more detail about the bonus. Uncommon to get nothing if you've been here for more than 3 months. You might not like the "why", but your MD or GM will tell you if your manager won't.
Thanks for the ideas guys/gals. I'll ask the md/GM. Maybe just a miscommunication?
Nah something weird here. With 95% client billable hours, he is looking at a minimum of 7% irrespective of BD or any other extra firm initiatives. Raise it up the chain!
Many factors to consider here! 1) how long have you been with the firm? 2) what was your utilization (client work)? 3)how did you spend your time on the bench? Give us some more detail so we can guide you better.
Okay, that's super weird. I have never heard anything like that. I would talk to the MD or GM and discuss this directly. Is your office relatively new? I am not surprised about the low raise (lower pay for a better work life balance) but for that utilization you can definitely expect a decent bonus.
Are you local or xm?
Hi, thanks for responding. Over 95% utilization (4 days maybe on the bench? But mitigated somewhat by overtime). Been here a year and a half. When on the bench did training, certification, and some project close out work.
Did you participate in ant BD efforts? Thats the only thing i can think of that is missing
How did your local office do last year?
