Microsoft CE salary for dc area?
Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
I have two years of automotive/aerospace manufacturing experience and am looking for new opportunities. I recently applied to a Solution Engineer - Commercial Manufacturing, Automotive, Energy (MAE) role at Salesforce, and it sounds like a great fit. Is anyone willing to offer me a referral or advice on how to move forward in the hiring process? Salesforce

I have seen a lot of companies have an associate program. There are also POC engineer roles where the engineer supports POC configuration and troubleshooting

Agreed. I’ve talked with my manager about getting an intern to help with this exact thing.
Might help to look at more startup type companies for something like this.
It would be good for SEs to have a few years of hands-on implementation experience. Lots of successful SEs I’ve met had that experience.

Agreed. Implementation is my background, and it’s made the SE job feel pretty “easy”.
In my mind, L1 support would fit this bill. As you’re learning the ropes in presales, the support org can serve as a great sanity checker and L1 support is a great way to get started at the ground floor.
Thank you!
