Hitting quota is all about the patch you are given. You can be the best AE but if your patch does not have accounts that are buying, it will be a rough road. Salesforce operates on a monthly quota, but since the pandemic, buying cycles are taking longer and procurement is more involved. I would ask why the AE who had that patch left and how they did previous years. Only 20% of AE’s hit quota in my vertical last fiscal. We have some who have sold next to nothing this year to.

Thanks for the insight. I am coming from a place where the plans are very screwed up. Skewed and no reason given. Since the pandemic and economic situation, how has it been selling Salesforce products to customers? My salary is very low for the amount of work I am doing. $70k. I’m looking for upward mobility and a better paying salary alongside commission. I use Salesforce daily and love the product. I’m very tech savvy and believe I’d be a good fit. However, just thinking about if I get in and do not sell anything right away am I put the door?

In my team most reps (including yours truly) will sell nothing for the fiscal. A few will be a circa 15-20% attainment. It is tough depending on the patch you get and the timing in the account.

I would ask what % of the patch is new logo, attainment in the team, etc. You could get a small quota but no deals still leaves you with just base...

What product/segment SF2?

As a company and employer - I would say 100%! My problem is with my patch, not my team, leaders, perks, etc. It's pretty great, a part from the patch ;-) So qualify your patch wisely and target a team that will set you up for success.

Thank you. This info has been helpful prior to my interview.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

I am 29F and earning 13LPA. I have been working for 4 years of which 3.5 years I had very low pay and close to 0 savings. I have been able to save 6L now.

My investments below:
* Elss funds - 2 (total 1.5L annually)
* Large cap mutual funds - 6 (total 40K sip per month) current portfolio of 4L
* FDs - 2 of 25K each
*Medical insurance - company provided

Can someone advice if this is a good investment plan for future? What can I do better? Do I need another Insurance? Where else to invest?
