Yes and yes. We do our best to keep people staffed close to home, but obviously depends on client demand. Talk to some folks in the office and get the skinny on where there are opportunities that line up with your skills and interests.

Local model is local to the office, not your house. While the office team will try to make your commute reasonable, not guarantees that you won't have to come into the city.

Pretty obvious you'll be commuting 1.5 - 2 hrs each way for at least some projects in NYC metro. That's why I left and never looked back. Rather fly out of town than have that hellish daily commute.

Just to clarify no one will ask you to travel overnight. Slalom is generally a local model firm unless you are hired on a cross market team

@S1: what determines cross market teams? Your competency?

PwC 1, you're willingness to join a cross-market team like traditional consulting. We say "no unwanted travel" and mean it.

* your. There aren't many business advisory cross-market people. It's usually stuff like Mobile Dev, Salesforce, etc.

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!
