Has anyone gone from Salesforce to a boutique partner? Considering making the move because my experience at Salesforce hasn’t been what I hoped it would be. Taking pay out of the equation, what else should I consider? Any thoughts on the work-life balance particularly?

February/March is always very disruptive here. I’m in pro serve here too. It might be worth your while to stay until at least mid-year. You need to network heavily to move to another group like prod mgmt. people schmooze hiring managers for 6-12 months to get the role they want. I wouldn’t be discouraged and think hard about leaving here especially if you’re young - even on bad days things are better here than most places on their best day.

What type of role are you in at Salesforce? Asking because I’m at a partner

You would need to go to an ISV, not a consulting partner.

Yes CSG

DM if you want to come to Accenture. Our Salesforce practice is run amazingly well and we're even able to work with Product teams at Salesforce to channel mutually beneficial client requirements into future releases.

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi Fishes, I would like to know if any team here gets MacBook.

I have an offer to a commercial real estate company in hand. My current brokerage (residential focus) wants me to pay $3000 penalty since I’m breaking the contract and leaving. I’m financially struggling and 3k is a big number to pay now. The new job will be paying me $2000/month up until the first year only. Is it wise to pay or stick around in residential sales just to avoid that penalty?

I received an offer for a Salesforce Functional Business Analyst at Accenture for 128k annually with a 15k signing bonus. I'm hesitant due to the lower title, as I want to move back into PM work, and feel as if I'm taking a step down. Also, concerned with the WLB at Accenture.
