Thoughts on Slalom? I am in an internal role already at my Big 4 firm and happy with my position (also already have WLB and no travel because of this). I interviewed with many people from Slalom several ago and they never provided an offer even though all the interviews went well- it felt like they strung me along. Now they reached out saying they want to talk to me, I wonder if it’s even worth my time?

Depends on the role and team, and what career path and trajectory you’re looking for. I’ve been working at Slalom—technically Slalom Build—for a few years now and honestly have looked into other jobs, but nothing compares to my growth opportunities here. I’ve had great exposure, career growth, and mentorships. But I will say, Slalom is all about what you put into it and making your voice heard. If you’re someone who keeps their head down and expects people to notice your work without speaking up, then you may find career growth here a challenge. And if you notice your work life balance isn’t what you want it to be, you’re responsible for speaking up about it. People are super willing and supportive about making your employee experience the best it can be, but again, you have to be comfortable speaking up. Also, it’s hiring season. So pretty much everyone is looking to grow teams right now.

It’s normal for firms to keep the pipeline warm and network with potential candidates. Given you’re currently internal and not in Consulting, the question is - Do you want to work in consulting? Or are they recruiting for internal role? Only you can determine what’s worth your time.

How long ago did you interview with Slalom? My assumption is that the delay is due to the holidays and the fact that Slalom slowed hiring in many markets last year. Many markets are beginning to ramp up hiring again.

4 years ago! It’s been a while and they said I was a good fit based on all my interviews but the timing wasn’t right because they were still growing their business

There’s a ton of staff aug at Slalom unless you’re a data scientist. There’s some OE and CRM work that is a bit more transformational, but otherwise it’s almost all temp work/project management, moving data from one place to another, or individual contributor roles.

I’d recommend BAH if you are open to less pay than Big 4 (ceiling) but the best wlb. For one, you’ll prob make more at Booz if you are mid career. If you are 15+ yrs, probably better off elsewhere as our govt contracts determine the salaries.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
