WLB is definitely great! Great starting base salary but bonuses and YOY raises are much lower than MBB or Tier 2. I was there for about 6 months but got super bored, so I left for a T2. It’s also a lil culty vibe 😅 but I can definitely see how people love the culture, it just wasn’t for me.
I can see this side of things. WLB is good for consulting, but you may have trouble staying interested in the work depending on the market you join.
Honestly coming from a toxic work env to slalom was like paradise. I really want for nothing outside of us all wanting more money but hey I live very comfortably, bought a house, own my car, and travel frequently. Even got a promotion with a nice bump and a great bonus in under 2 years of joining. If I ever truly want significantly more money or need it I know and they know I could leave at anytime but I'm very happy and that's what slalom cultivates. Happiness. Willing to answer any questions lol

So what’s your base salary and level?
Overall promo process and time to next level is similar as the big4. Perf evaluation criteria are also similar…but the raise and bonus % are lower.
My advice would be to negociate a strong initial based salary, which should be doable coming from BCG.
Life changer at Slalom is really working what you are paid for. Extremely rare weekend work (and we are talking 2-3h when it happens), no 7am or 7pm meetings, mostly local delivery so limited travel unless you ask for it. And great leadership overall. And yes, Slalom is growing fast, opening new offices all over the world, being great at leveraging their global network.
Super helpful, thank you!
I don’t think anyone from BCG would go to Slalom…
Yes, I feel that I have a good amount of input into what I focus on, so I find it interesting.
Pros: Great for building out hands on keyboard skills if you join the right projects, some smart people, entry salary was competitive.
Cons: Very flat comp trajectory, especially if you are technical. I left a few months ago for a 70% raise.
Overall not a bad place, I used it as a way to enhance my technical skill set before leaving to industry.

Interested in this as well
Cons: pay isn’t great, a chunk of your bonus to tied to the number of hours you work on a project.
Pro: great WLB, great opportunity to learn new things
If your local market misses numbers, even if you had an incredible year with 100%+ utilization and great sales, both your merit and bonus will be underwhelming. Which is why I bounced.
If you don’t care about comp, Slalom is incredible (definitely miss the people the most). Was there for years, but culture tanked with Covid. At this stage in life I rather prioritize comp as my family grows.
Why would you exit to a lower tier consulting vs the industry for WLB? Curious to hear your rationale
I think the difference isn’t always that great, despite what people hung up on “prestige” would like to think. The reality is that MBB isn’t usually designing grand new line-of-business launches working directly for CEOs, and most MBB hires won’t make partner.
Personally, I work in a technology practice at Slalom and have been directly involved in greenfield initiatives at multiple F500s with visibility to SVPs and on occasion C-suite. I’ve seen people from my local office get promoted up from consultant to MD or exit to VP+ industry roles. I have plenty of career growth ahead of me whether it be internal or an exit.
Do y'all mostly do tech implementations? I'm seeing a lot of ERP, HCM, etc type roles and nothing in the IT strategy or operations advisory realm.
In my market what I described were under Data & Analytics

Really good starting offers (at least coming from big 4), meh non-promo raises. If you sell work you can get promoted pretty quick though
