Anyone else run into independent or firm SF recruiters that are a little *too* into it? Interviewed with one and they had SF branded everything on and in their office.

They were shocked that I didn’t go to any events and wasn’t really all that active in the communities. This is just a job and a software I use. 🤷‍♂️

Our team would ask if we drank the koolaide before all hands calls with Marc. He once opened with “we’re going to change the world today, our biggest announcement in years, it will impact all of our users, and dramatically change the way business is done” I kid you not the announcement was a new field type.

I'm still in the beginning of my Salesforce Journey and I kind get this lol. I watched Dreamforce online last year and enjoyed it. But it was a bit much.

Not over the top in a concerning manner but a lot for my introverted self.

Can someone explain me what's going on with Accenture recruitment? My joining date was 29th of this month.

Is this normal?

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?
