Found a dream Salesforce-related role and even got past the phone interview, but the salary is really low, so I had to withdraw. Just venting, but I’m so sad they wouldn’t budge on the salary. It’s even below industry standards.

Similar situation for me and I withdrew as well. I was made the verbal offer. In my case - the role was lower than current one

Yep, same. That’s okay. There will be other opportunities.

You’ll see that a lot. People underestimate or are actually take aback/offended by the market rate for Salesforce admins and consultants and try to squeeze someone in cheap.

My recent experience: discussed salary early. They knew I was coming from consulting so well compensated. I thought I might have to take pay cut to move into industry role but was pleasantly surprised. Ended up accepting role with 15% bump in total comp and seemingly exciting work to be done.

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
