Moving to make a couple bucks isn’t a compelling story, make sure there is a strategic reason for making that move and can articulate the impact you made in your new role.
Seriously when did MBA's start having any value????
Lol at TC1
So don't do it? Do it? I'd move from 88k to 110k.
Answer is yes. People reviewing MBA apps will most likely not know what slalom is.
Money will follow. It’s all about where you can get the most experience and have opportunities for growth.
Honestly, earlier in your career KPMG might be a better place to do that.
Thanks @s2 and @s1 lol yeah KPMG audit. I have three years consulting experience...Maybe grind out another year before moving?
Any inputs?
Wondering the same thing. How important is the company you currently work at vs having brand names anywhere on your resume? Underpaid at D and thinking of moving to lesser known boutiques
It's important.
Why would someone strategically move to Slalom? I'm moving purely because of raise, local clients/ less travel. As far as impact I'll make I won't know that until I join Slalom.
I think there’s a lot of value in making manager at the big 4 if that’s doable for you in the next couple years. That would be a good story for your MBA application.
S&O? Not our strongest suit overall, but we have some really solid digital strategy leadership (Gil Wong) in cross market and some legit S&O folks in Chicago and DC.
We have a great Org Effectiveness practice that does some innovative things like agile change management and incorporating UX strategies like journey mapping.
Just keep in mind each market is run very autonomously, and can go to market in different ways.
Ok then OP, sounds like you have an awesome case for your B-school app. 😅
Slalom is very strong in cloud technology, Salesforce, data analytics, much stronger than KPMG. That could be a strategic reason if you are interested in tech.
Slalom, no one likes Slalom or wants to go there! It's basically a fake company
DD1 idiot
@sc1 I'm not sure if Slalom is much stronger than kpmg in technology and data and analytics. However, yes, definitely in Salesforce (we don't really dabble with Salesforce as much as other cloud platforms). Speaking of data I'd be joining the information management group at Slalom. I didn't get a feeling that they are super advanced and way ahead of any of the big 4 including KPMG. I did get the feeling that they are a growing firm/ practice and are looking to staff projects with people who have certain skills from previous places.
Slolam1 is wrong about Slalom being a better place than KPMG for data & analytics, hands down, probably also wrong about cloud. But agree that as long as you have the right reasons for the move, the firm you're with at the time of applying for MBA is not that critical. You really think they want half the class from the same 10 firms? They value diversity.
OP, every office is different. Key is to figure out if what they are currently focused on and or building is aligned with your personal goals.
SC2, I think they key is whether you are looking to help up move upmarket by building relationships and selling the type of work you want to do, or if you just want a job. There is a lot less formal training and rigor at Slalom than the large firms, which can be both an opportunity or a challenge. I think 4-5 years of foundational experience at a big firm is the way to go before moving to a boutique IMO.
KPMG is #1 for scandals
