Varies by client. Some clients yoy are onsite 1-2 days a week, some you are on-site only for meetings, some you are there 4 or 5 days a week.

Overall slalom is really mellow about that. Usually the tram lead figures that out.

As a rule of thumb though...we try not to be on site all the tine

I call it commuting. Not travel

Slalom = no unwanted travel. That being said, yes, typical to spend four days locally on site at your client office

When our consultants are staffed 100% on a project that’s usually 40 hrs, M-F. If you’re a leader (anything other than consultant), your expectations are to be utilized less.

What happens on Friday? Work from
Home? Or in office?

Totally depends on the project, meetings etc. I have mostly worked from home (75%), or from the office (20%) to reconnect with colleagues, and mayyyybe 5% of the time gone in to client site for some specific reason (including forgetting my charger there) over the past 5+ years (all of this is about Friday’s)

Let me ask you in a diff way perhaps? How many times are you in the office on Friday in a year? 12-20?

About 10-12 times..i should be there more often but life gets in the way

Let me answer differently for you: if there are 52 weeks in a year, and I apply a .2 multiple, I get 10.4 days. I would say that means 10- 12 a year.

Sorry to be a jerk, but I feel like you set me up for it 😂

Work in Industry Solutions at @Microsoft. Been here 1.5yrs, in the industry close to 20. Sr. Consultant at Level 64. I just got bumped from 160k to 172k + 39k bonus (UBI + CBI) and 48k in stock awards.

My core skills are Kubernetes, Containers, Advanced Architectures, and Process Optimization (DevOps). I feel like my salary, good as it is, is not up to par with the market. Friend of mine at Google makes close to 190k with much of the same. Thoughts?
