Slalom Consulting need some help. I have an upcoming meeting with the people manager for a non-tech (but niche skillset) C role next week. I have 4YOE total but no C experience. My background is in marketing and my current role is Audience Lead. Any advice on what to expect/prep for the meeting, comp range, culture, etc. here would be very welcome!

I hope your experience with Slalom was better than mine. They did a bait and switch on me and the interview with the local partner was disheartening/rubbed me the wrong way.

For context I was 30 years old at the time (two years ago) and had 8 years of experience (3 consulting, 5 industry doing similar roles). The initial convo I had with the recruiter told me the salary range was ~120 and they ended up offering me $90k. In my interview with the partner the woman called me a “good girl” in response to an interview answer I had. It was just a waste of 4 rounds of interviews. Basically my advice is to be clear about the salary range they’re offering and the role

Thank you Manager 1, for sharing your experience. My experience with the recruiter was great as well and I have heard a lot about how great the culture is.

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.
