How great is possible career/salary growth at Slalom for those joining relatively early in their career? (Right out of undergrad - 3 years out]

I would say very great if you are a self motivated and resourceful. By resourceful I mean a good networker and not afraid to ask people for their help, advice, and your willing to put in the effort and hours. Seems obvious probably. What I have seen is that many more early career people will get more shots at Slalom quicker, if they show the effort and aptitude.

I think a lot may depend on the health of the economy in your area given Slalom’s local staffing model. During the last recession my brother was hired in Denver and then they were saying they had no work and need d to let him go 6 months later. He ended up moving to Seattle (stayed with Slalom) for gigs and has been good ever since

Never had a lay off - even in our worst year which was 2009 and we remained flat. We let go of people who are not performing well and the culture is such where you have to be collaborative and get along with others. I’m sure there are exceptions, but mostly people live up to our first core value which is Do The Right Thing, Always

I will add that I have seen some people get a little stale with their skills and the company is doing larger, more strategic projects, so you have to keep up. Pretty normal for consulting.

Hi Everyone,
Need some valid pros and cons for Value Momentum in regards to (WLB, Work options, HR Policies, Onsite opportunity etc)

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
