Working for Salesforce you’re more likely to be overworked or over capacity than at a consulting firm, in my experience. Hot cloud products can’t even keep a bench in professional services divisions, meaning overcapacity. Consulting firms try to keep a bench to always be able to take on more business and account for other circumstances, but not be overallocated. SFDC also has decently high turnover it seems (this is a generalization), more so than you’re average consulting firm

Curious about this too.

Maintain a bench? On purpose? What is that craziness?

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.
