Say you have hands on PE experience and never refer to it as anything but PE experience. Say you miss all the advanced modeling you did in your engineering studies and want to return to working on pushing the boundaries of what is theoretically possible vs toiling on reproduce tasks day in and day out.

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).
