Outsiders perspective but it’s basically an off ramp from traditional consulting. Local model means generalists vs. specialists, primarily PMO work, slower progression, lower pay potential. BUT much better hours and quality of life.

It's staff aug for the most part...projects for the rest....pretty frustrating at times with the quality of work that comes ..good people and culture.

Totally depends on market. The city I live/work in doesn't do staff aug and we are doing more interesting things than I did at Big4.

What city are you looking at?

Also, best company culture I've ever seen, and that's what I do for a living (OE).

It's important to note that the entire org and delivery model is near-flat. We have Consultants who have more experience and make more $ than Principals. The variation really comes in % of time spent delivering. The 'higher' you are the more time you spend working on internal IP vs. client work.

They're well respected thus far. New market. A lot of integrated teams, not siloed. No idea on kind of work, but I'd guarantee federal/clearance stuff.

Essentially, your pay is related to what you think you deserve and what we can justify charging for your services. Then, separately, your role within the company is closely related to what kind of work mix you are looking for and what your personality makes sense doing. The best managers are not made by experience alone - there are plenty of folks out there with long careers who don't have the innate tools to manage people. Our system is intended to prevent those situations.

But don't make this decision on comp.

What is the title progression?

Why is the comp so wonky? Consultants make more than people 2 levels above?

I'm considering a role in DC market. Any thoughts on types of projects and culture?

KPMG1 - the comp isn't always wonky. They pay people what they're accustomed to. So that means there are some people who are Consultants who have like 20+ years exp. and get paid that way. They just want to keep delivering instead of managing. Get it? Slalom is mostly experienced folks, so the title hierarchy game doesn't happen as much. Theoretically.

But that person who's at consultant level will get paid more than someone at consultant manager level (also in delivery)? That's the part that's off to me

Not always. It's uncommon, but not as a rule. I'm using this as an example of how title and comp are not directly related.

I am looking at northeast . Boston or NY maybe. The recruiter did tell me about the flat culture. She said everyone comes in at consultant. Do not know salary ranges or visa options yet. wondering what salary would be appropriate with a total of 8 years work experience
Industry and consulting. Currently a senior now. Also the growth and travel etc
