I got offers from both Accenture and Slalom for technical Salesforce consulting roles. Compensation and level is similar. Which company should I choose and why? I am honestly very confused.

Left Accenture 7 years ago and never looked back.

Can you please tell me why?

I would probably go to ACN for the brand. Slalom has a “flat” hierarchy, you’ll be at the same level for years with minimal increases.

As of January 2021, Slalom no longer has a flat organization.

If you end up in Accenture Technology you may experience slow advancement as well

Yes that’s under technology. Ask which career track it is. (Either CDO or C&O)

I’m at a unicorn start up and see more new hires from slalom than Accenture. I think their brand is strengthening.

Slalom has better people. Accenture has more upward mobility

like

Slalom if you want to avoid travel. They focus on staffing locally. They also are known for a great work/life balance.

like

Accenture if you're ambitious and aggressive. Slalom if you want to chill and coast.

Slalom 100%. Great company from so many perspectives. The people at Slalom are something unlike any company I've been at. I've been at 6 different companies since I graduated. From Microsoft to boutique consulting and Slalom is perfect for me.

They will help you go in the direction you want to develop. If you want to stay in sales force, great, they'll help you get more certs. if you want to move to D&A, they will help you do that. I feel like they really do want their employees to be happy and want whats best for them....

Cheers.

Maybe Accenture depending on your priorities. Better and/or more recognizable brand may help with exit opps. I also heard that upward advancement at Slalom is slower and less financially rewarding than at Accenture. However, Slalom is likely to have little/no travel and better WLB.

Accenture

Accenture has better benefits. That’s about it. Also the whole travel thing is kinda going out the door. I highly doubt we’re doing mon to Thursday every week anymore.

Slalom! Awesome organization, good & smart people and our SF practice is killin it. I love being part of a “small” organization and all the opportunities that brings.

I have approved I-140. Indian nationality so priority date not close to current. If I switch employer, does my employer need to apply for PERM and i140 again as soon as I join, to get H1B extensions?

Hi all,
Does anyone have advice/ leads on what companies sponsor H1B? I just graduated with my MS in Data Science, have 3 years of UX/ PM experience, a BFA in Product Development, and a BA in Journalism. I have been looking since August and so far no offers/ companies ending the interview once they find out I need sponsorship down the line. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. What companies/ jobs should I apply to with my background?

Is there any risk of travel king out of country multiple times on H1B before 485 approval?

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
