Let me share a recent post from the Slalom bowl:
Slalom: these are the projects you’ll be doing

Me: ok. These are individual contributor roles.

Slalom: Yup. Important for us to not have bench time. You need to do the roles we staff you.

Slalom: Your roles don’t demonstrate force multipliers. You haven’t led teams.

Me: I did the roles you told me to do.

Slalom: Since you didn’t demonstrate more leadership on your projects we can’t place you higher in the org.

Me: I...did the roles you sent me...I didn’t have a choice.

Slalom: Here’s your next role. It’s a individual contributor project.

Me: Wait...you just said...

Slalom: Love your future! Smile!

This is the majority of Slalom offices.

SC1 is describing a variable experience across our markets as we implemented a new career framework. Some leaders did exceptionally well in leading their teams through it (including mine), and some leaders struggled to implement the changes to how we think about and value talent in their practices. I would caution against seeing that post as the norm across the firm.

I work in one of our cross-market teams and have really enjoyed working with both our OC and Denver offices. What practice area are you in?

Yeah I figured up at higher levels that RFPs would be expected but yeah I would be happy just putting out work for now and eventually when I’m ready start to get engaged in RFP work. But I really appreciate the insight! It’s been super helpful!

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.
