Slalom 🐠 - Any chance I could negotiate my PTO to match what I have at my current firm if I were to move over? It’s only 17 days for Slalom correct? And is your matching 50% up to 6% of your pay?

My friend tried to get 5 more vacation days and was instead offered 15k more in salary. Wild.

Note: not consulting

I don't remember the scale off the top of my head. But believe it or not what they're offering now is sort of an improvement - at least that's the way organization tries to portray it. They took away sabbatical and added a day or two of PTO. It is your typical scale where it goes up over time. And no it's not great obviously. :-(

SC1 - Lol sounds like they did the old bait and switch- how about KEEP the sabbatical and ADD PTO? I really don’t understand some companies. Employees aren’t going to take more than what works with their project/leadership usually - PTO should really be 30 days, esp in consulting. Many companies like Salesforce have unlimited PTO, don’t get it.

like

No negotiation room that I've seen. It appears to be very locked down and consistent across offices.

PTO is non negotiable

SC1 - Well shoot - do you think this area will improve at all? What’s the PTO scale?

Couldn't agree more OP. :)

K1, no idea what Slalom daily resource rate are but if they're anything like mine, it probably actually makes more sense from a financial perspective to pay your buddy that extra $15k than lose 5 days of chargeable time (depending on the resource's level)

But what about the 401K match

likely no, HR will block those non standard PTO. It becomes an admin nightmare

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

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!
