How’s WLB, pay, culture, growth etc at these two companies compare to one another?

Roles: Associate Consultant vs Analyst (both in Cloud)

The people I’ve met from Slalom have been great but the brand recognition and exit ops still leave something to be desired. If you’re in tech I’d also consider Accenture. Out of curiosity, why is D the only B4 you’re evaluating?

Well I think the Salesforce group has a lot of growing to do, personally. It feels like a completely different rule set than the rest of the org -- very much remote boutique staff aug, lots of juniors to mentor adding extra hours and effort. That leader will figure it out eventually.

I’m not sure why people are so sour about WLB at D, it’s very dependent on you, the boundaries you set and how fast you’re looking to grow…..been here 7 years and would not change that decision….it’s a good place to work, there’s decent respect with clients, there’s some extremely intelligent people around, sure there might be some idiots that didn’t get the right opportunities or didn’t grab them but the firm is too big to fix any of that, they still keep trying……OP go with your gut and what you felt talking to folks on either side, I’d definitely say it’s a solid place to start your career!

I would say D to start! It will set the tone and help you understand the consulting business better

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?
