Slalom reviews

slow on followups have limited opportunities needs clearer path from contract consultant to FTE

Consulting projects were getting boring and repetitive. More health care, more slow-moving clients, more meetings, more testing iterations and slower dev cycles. Much of the project excitement depends on the landing the right client and right team. Quite political and small, so if you have a bad day, word spreads quickly. The caveat with consulting is that it's best when all engineers are billable, which means that if you hit it out of the ballpark and complete a complex and challenging project with lots of visibility you may just end up on a boring test role for months until another billable client comes up.
