first call with SF CSG Recruiter is scheduled for Senior Architect role. Appreciate insights from you all.
1. How is work life balance in CSG?
2. What is the typical billability target? Does one have to market oneself for billability or the Practice lead takes care of it?
3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA

Do yourself a favor and pass on this opportunity. CSG is a nightmare. It is so poorly managed it is laughable, otherwise you’ll cry.

1. Varies, but generally the more skilled you are, the more unreasonable the expectations, including ghosting hours to cover the shortcomings of others. YMMV.

2. Not only do you not have to do this, you are actively discouraged from doing so and will be criticized sharply if you do. Util is only 78% based on 40 hrs/week, though holidays and PTO are not excluded from the denominator.

3. There are more than enough sales, solution engineers, and CSM's to do this - most you'll be asked to do is toe the party line on whatever it is they're pitching, which is generally the newest acquisition, because they're getting double spiffed for it (one reason to pay attention to allhands calls, where they test their sales pitches before they roll them out publicly at Dreamforce/etc).

Any exit opportunities from Deloitte making around 140k strong tech background with 6+ yr experience . Mainly looking for architect level role

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
