I got a low ball offer from Slalom. Interviewed for Principal but been offered a SC role and offer is 25% cut from my current comp. Any ideas if Slalom always does this? How much should I negotiate?

That’s a joke offer. They make a habit of offering low offers, but now that everyone’s remote the local/no unwanted travel model isn’t a good enough excuse. Keep looking.

Get as much as you can going in OP.. you’ll see insignificant raises at the higher bands. And yes, over there that’s considered a higher band.

Sounds like it’s not so much lowball as they re-leveled you. Might need to better understand the prereqs for each and why they yanked principal.

like

Yeah, sounds like the interviews were aced from a fit and general consulting perspective, but not from a role perspective. You can share that it looks like the offer isn’t for the role you interviewed for and ask them to confirm our provide more context. Express that the role offered would be a cut of responsibilities and pay.

If they stand strong you can decline politely - say you appreciated their time and hope to continue the convo after you check the boxes they require for principal. They’ll not be able to hold it against you, since they did a bait and switch.

With Slalom you are signing up for a stagnant career. They themselves are confused about me@slalom. If you join as sc then chances are that you stay in that title for at least 2 years. With local consulting model no longer valid I don't see any reason why you should opt for it. All the best!

SC2 - well that’s good to hear! Guess we can take that one out as a potential reason

What do you do at salesforce ? And what were you expected to do at slalom? Have you worked in consulting before ?

So I guess the limited consulting experience is what weighed against you. When I got into consulting I had several years of industry experience but they brought me in at a level that I thought was ridiculous. But the work itself was challenging and a good learning path for future opportunities

likehelpful

It’s not really lowball offer. It’s just all they can afford and get decent margins. Slalom’s hourly rates are not all that high so they can’t pay all that much. Maybe their delivery centers can make some of that up with fixed bid projects.

they did this to me too. Not as bad as yours, but unfortunately I declined the offer.

'fortunately'
