Slalom 🐠: what does your comp max out at? Is it safe to assume most Managers/Senior Managers would be taking a drastic pay cut to join?

Haha that’s a great way to say “yes, more than safe to assume a drastic pay cut."

@SL1 - interesting info, but you haven’t answered my question. Based on glassdoor, practice lead compensation runs around $160k plus $40k bonus...$200k all in. I’m hoping that’s incorrect as that’s a decent sized drop in comp from all the other firms at the SRMGR / Director level.

To give you some additional data points, I make $225 salary plus another ~$25k in bonus. This is as a second year director. Industry offers I’ve declined thus far are at Director level at Fortune 500 without a drop off in compensation.

Given path to partnership is still viable ($20M team sales, $4M lead director sales, $5M managed revenue), I’m not looking seriously, but want to learn about available options better.

If I truly had to take a $50k cut to join Slalom, it clearly wouldn’t be an option for me. If travel was the main reason I wanted to leave consulting, there are roles out there with similar comp. this is assuming you have the track record of success to garner the offers.

I suppose if you can’t garner the offers, don’t have a path to partner, then slalom practice lead can be an awful backup plan.

Hey OP - location doesn’t seem to play a huge factor for salary ranges at the D level at KPMG. Salary ranges seem to be 200-275 for management consulting (excluding strategy...they seem to make more). I came over from EY and ranges seemed similar for their version, performance improvement, albeit slightly lower (180-250 range for salary).

Which firm are you at and what’s the ranges over there?

No? Depends on city and role. However, there is a lot more about Slalom than comp. Most people that have taken a cut to come here have expressed that it's worth the trade off.

I mean, taking a cut to stay local isn’t the worst thing... but I’ve heard Slalom top pay is around 150 in a “normal” CoL city

Wait, what?! What do you mean Slalom tops out at 150K? Lol

Slalom comp does not top out at 150k. Base salary tops out somewhere around 180-200k based on location and role, but bonus targets continue to grow throughout your career.

It’s a different model, you can be admitted to the equity incentive plan which supplements whatever you are making from your base and bonus. That said the notion of comp maxing out is stupid; it’s not like the GM of a 300 person office is making $150k

It does NOT top out at 200k. Trust me. However, it is a different business model, and one that includes equity opportunity at all levels. Get all the details first. And don't trust what you hear on here (including me, I suppose).

But please, call that recruiter back and pass on the opportunity. Slalom is definitely not made for some people.

Is the “practice lead@ role at slalom equivalent to senior manager (EY/Deloitte) or Director (KPMG / PWC)? If so, what’s that range for that level?
