What's your goal? Slalom is an excellent company but is not going to offer fast progression / growth. If you'd like to slow down, limit travel, and have more focus on WLB, slalom is likely best.

Don’t forget slalom build

Small Boutique is better, I have not heard of Slalom, so I assume is not that great either.

What office at slalom? The operate by office rather than National. The office will have a much bigger impact there.

I heard the Chicago office was kind of gnarly. The GM for the office 1-2 years back got let go. Not sure what happened but internally I heard "he didn't live up to our values" aka could be any wrong doing lol.

Chase the money though. Ask slalom to match and if they don't go with the boutique

What role?

Do you know the approximate bonus at the boutique? I just got to slalom but I believe it’s generally around 7-10% bonuses

I received minimum 7% bonus each year I was at slalom

helpful

Did you find out about potential to grow at the smaller firm? I personally find myself better challenged at a smaller firm where I can grow with the company.

Try to get Slalom to match. If they don't, I'd still join them, assuming the boutique is a no name brand. A few years from now, it will be easier to switch jobs for more money when you're coming from a bigger brand.

YoE?

Go for the boutique, independent of the higher comp

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
