Hi, Is it good to join Salesforce for Technical Consultant role (YOE - 3.2 years) ?
I checked with few of my connections, they saying I will be mostly allocated to Salesforce industries (Vlocity) project. Please suggest about the team structure and work life balance for this role.
and also in future, is it possible to apply for IJP in Salesforce ?
Please provide your thoughts on this.

Sometimes people ask questions in interviews just to gauge someone's response. If someone is asked about having a lot of jobs and they get evasive about it, that could indicate something. If they treat it as a simple question and give a reasonable answer it may not mean much of anything. A lot of interviewing is risk avoidance, and they may be trying to discern if someone is problematic, or if they've just been caught up in unfortunate circumstances such as serial layoffs.

Agree - sometimes they just want to see how you respond

Context matters more than count. Layoffs, contract roles, startups shutting down — most recruiters understand those patterns now. What people look for is whether the story makes sense and whether there’s clear impact in each role.
Frequent moves without a clear narrative raise more questions than frequent moves themselves
Multiple short stints can look jumpy on paper, but any good recruiter should also understand the layoff chaos of the last few years. What helps is clearly labeling layoffs, showing impact in each role, and having a coherent story about what you were trying to do (not just “I bounce a lot”).
Depends on how many and how long each stint is. Explanation of each being specific is important too. If you have been at 6 places in 3 years and all you can say is “layoffs” then yes, there are red flags.
