Ahh, I see. If you can figure out a way to network with employees there, that can help. Perhaps there are people from Accenture or your alma mater that you can connect with. I’m not sure if a grad degree is in the cards for you, but you could maybe do an EMBA at a school they recruit out of.

I know a few people who went from selling consultancy at Accenture and similar firms to selling salesforce consultancy at salesforce. Later some of them switched to selling product instead of services.

The consulting selling role is called account partner and is within the customer success group. From the folks that I know they knew a few people at Salesforce, which helped a bit, and applied to a publicly posted job.

No not directly. I only know of the two guys who came from Accenture to services selling.

I do believe it should be most definitely possible to make such a switch. I work closely with account executives who sell to large enterprise accounts and what they do basically is selling technology, not products

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
