How integrated is Dell in their operations ?

From my perspective - working in Biz Ops & Strategy and not on the eng/product side - it’s mainly integrated from the sense that A) Dell leads large deals where there is significant hardware, and VMware licenses or subscriptions might be a smaller element, and B) when customers want to finance their deal via Dell Financial Services. But in other aspects, customers might want to use partners like CDW and our VMware teams do not interfere with the customer’s partner decision since we have to play the long game and be partner-neutral. Plus, if rumor has it that Dell is planning a spinoff of VMware.

VM1, what level are you? Sounds like you’re on the business side. Any thoughts you’d care to share on company, comp, WLB, etc.? Interviewing for a Senior Director gig.

I’m a Sr Mgr in Biz Ops & Strategy and my TC is $230k all-in (base+bonus+RSU). Due to pandemic there were no promotions or raises in 2020. If you have an Enterprise Sales background (selling IT / Cloud / SaaS to CTO & CIO) you should alert be familiar with high stress, high pressure expectations from executive sales leadership in closing deals in the quarter - so from a WLB perspective it’s all about delivering on quarterly targets and doing all the related business activities that support this.

Thanks for the starting this thread OP and for the responses VMWare1. So timely!! Is $230K total comp mean or median? I got contacted on LinkedIn for a BizOps role in velocloud for a Sr. Manager role. Any general thoughts about the BU, people and culture? Thank you!

I would not do Velo as a BU. Look at Tanzu that may be a better fit

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Thoughts? Things I should consider?
