Feel like my team's Slack channel is bombarded with way too much personal stuff or commentary, or gossip about other teams. I'm not a manager or anything and don't want to be a spoilsport. I think if I said something they wouldn't change anyway - it's pretty much everyone but me and one other colleague that does it. Help?

Ask the manager to create a separate channel for personal conversations

Same with my team’s teams channel. People start using it as Facebook 😔😩

My advice would be to take it to Leadership. If you have any forums where you have the opportunity to provide feedback, do it constructively. Another route to address it on a smaller scale would be to express the concern during your retrospective.

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).
