Hey ex-consulting Salesforce Fish - What is a Salesforce Client Partner equivalent at Deloitte/EY/PwC/Accenture? As in Manager, Senior Manager/Director, Managing Director or Principal/Partner? Any pros and cons in the role compared to big 4 consulting?

I just left a CSG Client Partner role at SFDC. It’s a level 10 Senior Director, but there are also VP Client Partners. I came in after leaving Deloitte as an SM. OTE was ~ $410K inclusive of base, commission, RSU

What’s CO?

We have Account Partners and Client Partners. APs can be M/SM level at Big4 while CPs are usually D/P level. CPs are Sr Director and VP level people and usually take care of the bigger accounts from services standpoint ($10M+ ACV)

like

Presentation / sales pitch / business case. An hour.

Client Partner takes the selling/BD element of senior manager/partner at Big 4, and strips out all the engagement delivery, account management, P&L management, and executive visibility. And the product you're selling is Salesforce professional services.

like

It’s a purely sale, commission role…probably between M/SM

like

No client partner they need minimum 15 years of experience

The work, it is probably more an SM or jr partner who knows nothing about Salesforce and can BS a lot without knowing much.

like

Stay at the Big Four if you want consulting career path. At Salesforce it’s an implementation model (with no commercial teeth or commitment) basically in a staff Aug model. But more importantly than that, there’s no ELT support for it to be a truly consultative role … mostly because services is dilutive to software margin and we’ve made a conscious decision not to compete with our partners. People in the CSG Professional Services team would like to think otherwise, but this org is purely a support function not a strategic GTM.

like

What do you mean

Definitely not Partner level, which requires investment and holds equity in the consulting firm (much more than just RSU and ESPP shares like at Salesforce)

like

I would say Level 7+ which is Manager/Architect level. That level is when you're eligible for equity grants

I’d love to talk to fishes who have successfully gone through the CP interview process. Please DM me. Thank you!

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Would you take a freelance gig that would be a promotion (with potential to join full time) with a smaller company whose values you really agree with, OR a full-time offer for a lateral move with a larger company with teammates you know and trust?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
