Request to interview with Slalom... I’m curious, what made people leave their firm to join? Is the pay better? No travel? Better work?

I took the job because they were building out the practice im in. That meant that i got define how we approached problems, which clients we targeted, structure the sales process and define our delivery methodologies.

If you have a vision and are willing to own it then slalom pays well.

Not better pay, maybe equivalent for a while (to bring you over). No travel, better work/life balance is what I've seen. I turned down the offer as it seemed to me mostly Staff Aug at local clients.

What practice and location?

I have way better work life balance than I did before and the pay is decent. The client are pretty solid as well, but I’m in a market with lots of brand name clients around

NYC. Strategy and Ops

Every day I want to message my old manager about coming back but my wife doesn't think I should primarily because of the stress I went through. Tbh I miss the stress and workload (cont.)
