Been in consulting awhile, looking to make a switch. Potentially thinking about a PA or SE role at Salesforce. Client facing, fairly technical, 15x certified. Any suggestions either way, and what kind of comp should I be targeting? Any other interesting roles to consider?

If you have client facing delivery experience and have good C-level communication skills, the PA or TA roles would be a good place to excel. I’m at 185K + RSUs with 7 YOE and finding it to be enjoyable, and standing out is very much achievable relative to the partner I worked at, where most of the architects had excellent communication skills.

185K for a PA or senior PA?

15x certified? Lol so you’re a generalist then. You need to figure out what your top 3 skills are and look at job postings that align to them. Compensation shouldn’t be a concern.

Admin + App Arch + System Arch is 8 and would be the minimum to pursue CTA. Most people have and Salesforce requires (for PA and many other consulting roles) Sales Cloud Consultant, Service Cloud Consultant, and Advanced Admin, which brings you to 11. Add a specialty and that's at least 1 more cert, possibly more if say marketing (Marketing Cloud, Pardot - 5 total) or dev (PDII, Heroku, Javascript). 15 is not too crazy for a senior practitioner honestly.

YOE?

Depending upon the location around 185k

I have my annual review coming up and want to hear thoughts on what a reasonable raise expectation is. I report to the COO and currently make $94k + up to 10% annual bonus based on company hitting their revenue goal + I have 3000 stock options. I have 3 YOE in customer success but pivoted to a non technical program manager role at a series c tech startup last September. I have been getting consistently positive feedback at quarterly reviews. What raise should I aim for?

So I was a 5th year associate in nyc making 100 k a year 2k billable hours.. I decided to leave for the role Im in now.. my old countered to keep me at 115k (which was like pulling teeth for them) but I left anyways now I find out that they offered a 7th year 150 k and a partner title should I be offended that they didn’t even try more with me
