Why y’all make fun of Slalom? They outbid my Deloitte and Accenture offers AND they’re known for a culture of respect it seems?

Yeah, if anything I am worried about Slalom. They are offering far better salaries and my staff is leaving to join there. Still no idea how they manage those salaries for junior staff that we can’t counter!!

No one makes fun of them. I have friends I’m B4, MBB, ACN, and slalom. By far my smartest friend works at slalom. He doesn’t make as much as MBB, but had a great life. If Slalom was stronger in my area, I’d jump in heartbeat.

Slower progression with slower salary growth (on average), but that also comes with limited travel, and much more reasonable hours

People would need to care about Slalom to make fun of them. Jokes aside - just refer to any gartner/forester research hard to find them out performing B4 firms in most topic areas/function. So I don’t think anyone makes fun of them, but they’re just a smaller regional player - nothing wrong with that. Typically just an FYI - you’ll see smaller firms tend to have a higher base comp as that’s how they attract talent since they can’t offer brand recognition, etc.

Should I stay at a company I know I like culture-wise when my manager said they will try to promote me, but with no guarantee. Or should I take a job offer I was given with a nice raise, but is in consulting at Slalom. I have not worked in consulting before. There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?
