Have an interview with Salesforce tomorrow for a Lead SE position based out of Madison, WI. Have 7 total SF YOE. Any suggestions what I should ask for compensation? Not sure how OTE works. Is 140k base reasonable?

For a grade 7 (Lead SE), 140 base / 200 OTE is perfectly reasonable.

I am a lead SE that was hired this fall with base 147 and OTE 211. I have less YOE than you. Aim high and don’t listen to naysayers

IMO, you're a bit high with base (though I'm not certain what % is base vs variable for the role). 140K OTE seems reasonable for your YOE, which would mean base is lower.

Salesforce 1: depends on specific role, team, and location, but is in the ballpark for that level and geo type for roles I'm aware of.

I made 225k OTE (158k base) as a lead in a tier B city, like Chicago. 140k base seems close for a remote Wisconsin role but shoot higher! And get at least 40k total RSUs

I didn’t get an RSU number until they made the offer. Typically 40-50k is about max for SE’s. If they offer 40, try to get them to 50k.

Hello,
I got an offer in Singapore for 4k SGD per month. I have 3.4 years of experience in IT Audit and also did masters in specialization with Information Security and hold two certs.

But the HR said I would never be able to find that in the market.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.

Would you ever trust a place if they asked you to do a trial project (even if it’s super small) during the interview process? I’m interviewing with a place and the recruiter said there’d be. Met with the CD and he never mentioned anything about it. Meeting with someone else soon. Place does well, but just off principle, don’t think I’m willing to do it. Has anyone here ever done this for a good agency? Been asked before, but never by a legit place. Always turned it down off principle.
