Hello,

Insight/reality check.

I started in an undergraduate program almost 4 years ago. My current base salary is ~90k with OTE at ~135k, LCOL area. I was recently promised an 11% raise with another 5% and title bump in another 6 months. Work life balance is good, some weeks are >40hrs but most are less. Most people I work with make above >250k but have >10YOE. I would say I am an above average performer at my company with similar responsibilities to seniors.

Am I under paid for my role?

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
