@All, hello, Salesforce made me a verbal offer today. It turns out it is 30k below my current position (just got a promotion at IBM). Will they match? FYI, mus skills are unique- trilingual (and position has been open since feb 2021)

Talk to your recruiter and let them know imo. To me it would be insane to take a 30k paycut unless your work-life-balance is unsustainable

All, just an update on my negotiation with Salesforce and hopefully it will help you also. HR is constantly engaged and said “financial strategy” is reviewing to see what they can do to bring me to the team competitive to my salary at IBM. Not sure if such division event exists but that is what I have. At the same time another HR contact emailed me details on back ground check. Which I find it weird since I have not accepted any offers. Will keep you posted. That is the least I can do after so much help from this forum.

Make sure you take a closer look at Salesforce’s intellectual property clauses. They are the most restrictive I’ve seen in the industry.

Yes, AE Marketing Cloud

My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

I’ve noticed on Glassdoor, salaries for my level (Director) are higher than my base but have similar bonus opportunity. At what level of pay gap would you push or make a stink? In hindsight I should have pushed more during the hiring process. At 160k base now, seeing ranges in the 170s to low 180s. These are specific to my current company.
