Hi all, happy new year! I'd like inputs from you kind fish in relation to an offer I'm considering from Slalom Consulting.

1. What is TC + benefits at C level, given HCOL, MS grad, 5+ YOE in life sciences consulting and data analytics?
2. What are your highs and lows of working here? I already know of the culture and WLB is like no other consulting firm so I'm pretty close to accepting (DL practice) but feel free to repeat. :)

Wish you all a safe, peaceful, joyous and prosperous year 2022!

Ditto the statement above - not sure what you mean by TC above what you have in your offer packet.

I love the people, the balance, the focus on doing what’s right (and that I feel we actually live our values), and the opportunity - I’ve seen my career fundamentally change in the three years I’ve been here. Lows? We’re growing from a regional to a global firm, and there’s a lot that goes into that, but we’re doing it well. Feel free to DM me with questions!

Thank you, will do!

Top quartile salary range for C level delivery leadership at HCOL is probably between 125-140k.

They’ll probably offer 150k base max

I was offered $74k when I started at C level 5 years ago in MCOL city. I took it. I am now up to $145K at SC and very happy. I know I was low balled but honestly, I’m very happy at Slalom. Best career move of my life. I’d say take the leap. If you hate it in a year, Change it up. I doubt you’ll hate it. Good luck and hope you find what you’re looking for!

Salaries are usually very market dependent but I got $135k in cloud last year in HCOL. If you search this bowl there are others who got more more.

Yeah agreed, and thanks!

If you have an offer then you can answer #1 better than we can :)

You're correct, maybe I should say market value. I am looking for a range to compare my offer so I know whether to negotiate or how much. Thanks though!

What is your offer ?

What is your offer...?

Thanks for the inputs patiently provided, my offer is $124k base salary. Think I can negotiate to be slightly higher? I don't have a technology consulting background, but an engineering one (no coding). I was told $125k is the ceiling for base.

SC1 thanks! I am with you on taking into account the total picture. I wanted to align myself to the ballpark number of what's offered. Appreciate the sound advice!

Is your background data & analytics and you are joining DL practice?
