I have an offer with Slalom. I negotiated and bumped my title to Senior Consultant for their emerge supply chain practice. I would like to know about the company’s culture , typical work hours. If it helps, I’m a 30 year old female who is planning to start a family early next year, hence looking for a good work life balance without having to compromise my career progress. Base 130k, bonus 7%

Congrats on the offer! In my experience, Slalom's culture is more collegial than the B4 world and expectations around WLB are more conducive to family life.

I’m a Senior Principal in a small, high-growth cross-market practice here - I work a max of 48h/w, more commonly 44. WLB is real here, and it’s worth something to me.

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
