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.

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?

Hey Fishes. I wanted to understand one thing.

When you apply for any opportunity, how well versed should you be with all the things mentioned in a JD, like certification, experience, some tools and technology, coding language. Do you see a 100% fit before you apply or go for the opportunity if you see the responsibilities meeting your expectation and know only like 60% of the expected or desired skills.

Have you been selected if in case you applied knowing you meet less criterias?

Especially on weekends 😅

Coming up on one full year at an ID firm. Feeling overwhelmed with my experience so far. I’ve received minimal training/feedback unless it was on something I messed up. It feels like the expectations don’t align with my level of experience. I have a case load of 45-55 with very little oversight or involvement from partners. Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.
