Anyone find it odd Google is asking for 8 YOE for a Salesforce BA role?

"Business Systems Analyst" at Google is not an entry-level slide jockey as with "Business Analyst" at consulting firms (or most "Business Architects" at Salesforce). I was a contractor on a Google project and was encouraged to apply for this role, and made it to the end but did not get an offer. I was going to come in at a senior level, which I was told was equivalent to manager, and I would have to move to the Bay but would get comp in the range of 210k salary/100k stock on a 4-year vest.

The interview is pretty intense; they expect you to be an enterprise/technical architect first and foremost, and apply those skills to a Salesforce context...not be a person with a bunch of certs who maybe picked up some integration patterns along the way. "Design a movie theater app" was one of my interview scenarios, and I had to whiteboard the data model, inflows/outflows, UI's, where volume and performance considerations were, etc. I am great at thinking on my feet, but I was not deep enough at that time to meet the standard for that role. I am glad I didn't get the role and am not interested in it now (nothing against Google, I just went in a different direction), but it was very interesting to be staffed there and go through their hiring process.

@TA what level were they offering the role at?

Hey Buddy! I was looking at this just an hour ago and had the exact same question. There is another posting that needs 12 yrs experience for a bsa role! Although I dont want to work as a ba, I want to apply to these roles solely to find out why! 😅
Interestingly the architect role only needs 5 yrs of Salesforce experience 😅😅

May be to minimize number of applications since they know that they’ll be receiving hundreds of applications?

Google has a very large and complex Salesforce org. I am sure they are just wanting people with legit Salesforce experience, not SMB orgs. They have the money to pay for whatever skillset they want….

Potentially. I’d just expect most people with 8YOE would be SBA or even SA at that point.

Yeah I saw that too - seems very out of whack. Tempted to apply just to get more info, unless anyone from @Google could confirm.

Can't speak for Google specifically, but often these qualifiers are used to filter out recent graduates.
