Saw some open roles at Slalom Consulting but been seeing mixed things about the new op model transformation and layoffs. Anyone have any insight into their AI practice like projects, vibes, etc.

Great work-life balance. Some really cool projects happening and coming up. Work culture is fine in most places, people are mature and want to get the work done without posturing and drama. Most people have other more important things going on in their life, usually family.

On the other hand, company culture is screwed, bonuses aren't a guarantee, pay is likely mediocre for most roles (but that's highly individual), and growth opportunities range from pretty good to non-existent depending on where you are.

I'm not unhappy, I get paid well and get tons of PTO. Hard to complain about much. I can understand why some people are disgruntled, though.

Staffing is sort of global now, but minimal travel. There's still a tilt towards staffing locally.

McKinsey - comp range for SD is probably $200-300k base, plus 30% bonus (which hasn't been fully paid out in years)

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
