I’ve seen a lot of org strategy, customer strategy and operating model work especially in healthcare in pharma. Have also seen really solid product management opportunities.

WLB changes based on your seniority and expertise. Don’t expect it if you’re a senior leader, expert, or key player in large scale implementations and also expected to lead sales and practice initiatives. Negotiate HARD for base increase because 3 years later you’ll realize you’re getting paid less than people below you. Promotion process can be frustrating especially if you’re aggressive about career growth due to lack of transparency. I’ve worked in really great projects with amazing people but I’ve also worked in some very toxic situations where it was sink or swim. It’s the card you get dealt. Keep in mind, the fact that so many B4 people join slalom especially in leadership roles means that they bring that attitude with them, it does not change overnight.

Caveat: everything I said above is team and office dependent. Some are way worse, some are way better.

We’ve got our hands in everything, but what you’ll have available to you highly depends on the office.

I will say that I’ve seen a lot of Pharma and Finance work in multiple offices (including mine).

I will also add that in my experience, we give very generous offers for experienced hires. Oftentimes people get huge bumps coming here from Big 4 and Accenture. It’s the raises once you get here that are the problem :).

I will say WLB and culture are phenomenal.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
