Hey everyone, received two initial offers for growth strategy roles.
1. Salesforce Sr Manager, TC 200k (Base 160k+Bonus 15%+RSU 60k over 4 years)
2. Palo Alto Networks Sr Manager, TC 250k (Base 170k+Bonus 15%+RSU 200k over 4 years)

Already told Salesforce regarding my other offer, will get a counter next week. Guessing it will be around the mid-point.

Profile: Total Exp 7 years (Post MBA 2.5 yrs in tier 2 firm), remote & LCOL

What are your take on both companies and the offers? Thanks!

I work 20-30 hours / week at salesforce. Culture is great. Manager making $170k/15% bonus/$60k RSU/$10k sign-on

like

is your 20-30 hours/week at salesforce the role? Or is it that you can meet expectations in only 20-30 hours/week? I have 14 years doing salesforce implementations and integrations (as a FTE for different organizations) and am looking to scale back to part time, but still have meaningful sr. level work. Is that even possible?

Thank you everyone for your comments. Salesforce bumped their offer close to PANW and I went with them. Reasons below:
Team: Overall vibe at Salesforce was great, loved everyone I met and they really seemed to enjoy the role and impact they have. Most people are ex consultants and really happy regarding their transition.
Interview experience: Both processes differed largely. PANW made me go through 8 rounds of interview with 8 different people, in 2-3 instances people did not show up and we had to reschedule. Whereas Salesforce process was really structured and seamless.

I don’t think I could have gone wrong with either one and it all came down to gut feeling about the team and culture.

Yeah, curious what group you joined at Salesforce and how you like it!?

Salesforce is super chill but you mostly like will not get any refreshers in RSUs

PAN. I’m bullish on them and they have good talent on the biz side. More technical product though, if you like that. Salesforce is more relatable.

Very good comps for LCOL. It’s good to see people get tech offers now in LCOL, before covid you wouldn’t be able to get these jobs unless you movedZ

Yeah totally agreed on the relocation part. Companies are super flexible it seems.

lol something doesn’t compute here…why would you even consider 1 over 2? anyone can go be a salesforce consultant and probably make more than that. pan will position you better with a skill less people have and will pay you a lot more in the process. am i missing something about why 1 would be attractive?

Sure I read that as a consultant level IC

I would go with the company you think you see yourself growing in. Now with that on the side, cybersecurity is going to always be around. PANW is number one in firewalls and now cloud sec, we’re will Salesforce be?
