Just my 2 cents. If you’re already a Consultant, don’t come into Slalom for a potentially long term pay cut, title decrease, AND lack of room to growth. Titles don’t matter, sure, but at Slalom it’s impossible get promoted because the hierarchy is so flat.
You’re getting caught up in arbitrary titles. Analyst means extremely different things at each company.
3 yrs should come in as Consultant Imo. What market?
I should have prefaced...I don’t care about titles as long as I am still making ballpark what I’m making now
Three years experience in what? Industry? If that's the case, I get the analyst thing. At Slalom, they have a weird habit of calling you an analyst internally, but allowing referring to you as an analyst - consultant (I think to keep people calm).
But if you have three years experience in consulting, I WOULDN'T accept that title. They like the hippy dippy bullsh*t about titles no mattering. Um, they do. To the outside world, titles are quick currency. Please, remember this your future, your career, be assertive.
Why else do mentors recommend that if you're just desperate and want to leave a job that doesn't/can't pay that you AT LEAST push for a title change reflective of the entirety of your responsibilities? Because that's what helps you land better positions when you finally can leave. And TRUST me.
I'm going to be honest, we don't have much room for advancement. It's a great company with a mostly 40 hour work week, but unless you're consistently assertive about pay or self-directed- you WILL easily get screwed. You MUST have a personal vision to last here. Each market acts like it's on franchise and it often feels like a Western. Will say...Big Slalom (Seattle) is allegedly working on bringing clarity to promotions and pathways, while also discussing a new title structure.
Again, if you have only three years general work experience...I'd say Slalom is a good stepping stone. Get with your People Manager as soon as you start and set goals around how to gain the official consultant title in six months. But if you have an advanced degree, tech/development experience, and/or consulting experience, I would INSIST on the consulting title & a decent salary. Go to Glassdoor for leverage and an idea of what you should be asking for. I agree, that depends the on market.
60k-85k depending on market. Probably towards the higher end because you have 3 years of experience
Analyst program includes new hires in large, established markets like Chicago and Seattle. However, smaller offices focus on hiring experienced candidates with a few years of experience.
I have 2.5 years of experience when I applied and got consultant title. I would try to at least negotiate if you believe you have the right experience and did well during the interview. Please feel free to dm.
What do you currently make? Also you should have been told already what you would come in salary wise if you are interviewing
They didn’t tell me yet...just want to know what I should expect when I get my offer letter
Dude it’s very simple. You tell them what you want your salary to be (usually ~20% higher than the number you want so there’s room to a) negotiate down or b) they might end up giving you more money than you had previously hoped for). If they don’t give you the salary you want you don’t take the job. People these days are so scared to negotiate. Like they already told you they want you, don’t be afraid to get paid
The 20% more money applies if you are switching to another "long hour" consulting firm.
We don't do over 40 hours. Take that into consideration when figuring out how much money you want.
The principle still applies. The job isn't worth taking if there isn't a material benefit in terms of salary, as the OP doesn't explicitly state hours being a problem.
I hear over and over at slalom what’s in the title. A whole lot I would say. If your a consultant don’t come in as an analyst, it’ll look out of place on your resume. Ask to be bought in as a consultant
