and if anyone is wondering how to get an interview, there is literally only two ways: a recruiter will find you on linkedin or an existing hire makes a reference. but i'd say the majority come from linkedin. u can also sign up thru our website to "meet a recruiter over coffee" but im not sure what that entails

@a1 in my experience, ive only been on one engagement that was staff aug and only because the client loved me and extended me in such a way that i was on an SOW by myself. but besides that, we are NOT a "staff aug firm". that is an outdated stereotype. sure we have lower bill rates ($165 for a BA) but clients trust us; we arent out to gouge you like the bigD and ACN that charged out the ass for mediocre/shit quality work

OP. Does Slalom have an FS practice?

@Ddigital1 ive done everything. implementations from scratch to data inregrations, org splits, org merges, you name it

Cool

@ey3*

^ that was good hahaha

Is there mc/strategy work?

Do you have international projects/offices?

@bigD4, yes we have offices in both toronto and london. its why we had to rename our "national" practice to cross market, erugh

@OP: What are the career tracks in your firm? (Core tech, client service etc) amd what are the different levels?
