Hi all! Just got a Principal offer from Slalom Consulting for $160k base and 10% bonus target in Seattle (non tech team). I have about 10 yoe, MBA, and coming from Big4 manager role for WLB reasons. Open to thoughts!

Seems low in this market

You can do much better than that. Counter with 180+

A bit low but I don’t think you’ll get anything more than 180 from slalom for Seattle

I’m not 100% certain for tech P, but that would be my guess

I have similar YoE in a lower COL market and have a base of $175k. I'm in a tech practice though. I agree with the other poster who questioned the bonus %...is 10% truly the bonus or just an expectation they set? 12% should be the standard target.

FYI OP, I believe Seattle is in Tier 1 or 2 of Slalom's pay bands. Pay bands are by geo + skillset, with four separate geo tiers (NYC and SF are at the top, Denver is in Tier 2 or 3 for example). I'm not sure how much lower the non-tech bands are than tech bands though.

Feel free to compare among slalom office but keep.in mind that each slalom office is independent and they set their own pay

Don't bother comparing slalom's salary against a big consulting company without normalizing for hours worked.

Seattle has one of the most lax working hours across all slalom offices. I'd be shocked if you work more than 28-30 hours a week

Within the general range, but you can definitely get higher if you have meaningful experience/success with sales and leading teams/projects.

Seems insanely low. Are you not getting $200 now? B4 managers should be around $200K and exiting for higher IMO, not lower.

like

Not base, but this would be a total comp step down given Slalom’s culture/WLB

like

Granted I have more YoE, but I make more than that as a P in a lower CoL city. And there’s something weird with the bonus target; it’s (supposed to be) standardized across the company and should be 12% for P.

like

I’m in Principal, non tech with about 8 YoE in a very similar COL market. I’m at 165K, so your offer seems fair. That said, the market it hot right now so I do think you can shoot higher.

like

The technology also matters, OP what is your line of work?

OP is non tech

its low. counter with 180

For non tech roles, I would say the offer is fair with LOE

Low in this market and has room in negociation. Their bill rate however is less comparing to a Big 4 so there is a limit on how much they can pay up for this level. However considering a better WLB, it may compare favoriably in term of $/hour worked. Good luck.

Ruhroh I’m a SP @ 150K base (MCOL, 8YOE) and this thread makes me feel bad…

Thoughts on the 2,000 dollar stimulus proposal? I personally think it’s not needed. Theoretically if you are getting full unemployment plus this 2000 a month you are making close to a 70-80k salary. Some people might roughly double their salary that they had when they were working. In addition, people like me (under 130k AGI) would qualify and I always could use money but it’s not needed.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
