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).
Microsoft CE salary for dc area?
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

Counter question: How much does your spouse make?
Yikes… that would bother me.
I would just say, "we have separate accounts so I'm not really sure" and then would change the subject. Bizarre question to ask though.
“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”
I would say how is that relevant here. Major red flag.

It’s inappropriate but not illegal.
I would probably just come back with a joke. What did you say?
I am all about setting expectations so if asked that question I would reply without hesitation, not rude but a firm I don’t believe that is an appropriate question. Add nothing more and await his or her next question. It could have been a test to see if you had the guts to speak up for yourself. In any case if they expected and answer then you don’t want to work for that person. If they were testing you and you caved they might be thinking one I can control this one or they didn’t have the backbone to stand up to me. To be honest I would think more of someone who stood their ground on this. If you’re asking this question you know it was wrong. The best case is they are a good company and he/she was a good manager looking to see if you would respectfully challenge their question.
