Very typical for SE role. My first job as an SE had 7 rounds and probably a total of 7+ hours of interviews with a presentation

Our interviews are much longer: Recruiter call, HM call, tech/sales screen, panel preso, full onsite (6 interviews). I don't know whether it's fair to the candidate, but it's saved us from many bad fits.

If you make it through, we definitely make it worth your while!

🥲 can you share what company this is for?

What is the best way to respond when an interviewer insists that you provide a base number for compensation during the interview process? I mentioned that I was interested in learning more about the full compensation package (benefits, etc.), but the recruiter insisted twice. I do not want to price myself out of a position or lose money either. All tips are greatly appreciated.

SalesForce folks, a recruiter reached out for an opportunity to interview for a AE position in my specialty. I noticed there is also an opp available locally for a Strategic Account Manager in my vertical as well.
Any one know of pay difference between the two, responsibilities/expectations, how they are viewed in the org itself?
I understand they are different but in my job today, I handle both roles so can go in either direction.
Appreciate any input.
