I'm currently a core SE at Salesforce right now, but I'm thinking about a change of scenery.

Any prior Salesforce SEs really enjoying their new companies? If so, where'd you go? How does the pay and work life balance compare?

Thanks!

Kittle (coming back from IR) or Gesicki (vs. Houston)?

I think the 49ers will ease Kittle back from his injury and have him primarily block against the Arizona defense.

However, Miami may primarily run the ball due to the game script vs. Houston.

What do you guy think?

Anyone know a good company to get local sim or esim card for The Netherlands and Belgium? I don’t need too much data I will only use it to navigate around and for emergency call. I have Verizon as my provider. Thank you all!

I have joined a company on 4th Feb, through consultancy on contract to hire basis.
I only received the job offer letter from the consultancy, but no Appointment Letter is given yet.
So since it's 10-15 day, since I joined. Can I leave this company, since I've got a better offer, with my suitable location.
PS: I have also received the laptop, but didn't login or do anything yet.
Please help me, can I still leave the company? And return the laptop to them. Or I have to continue here itself?

How long did it take you to find the right position the first time you went in-house? I am 5 months into it and regretting turning down the (lowball) offer I got a couple months ago.

Is this the bowl the dump everyone in that doesn’t work for Big4 or mbb?

Working at a hospital with a million programs and services. When is developing an independent brand for a group justified, and when should it remain part of the parent brand?

Happy Football Sunday!!!! Go Eagles!!! Have fun today everyone!

If I end up quitting after maternity leave, do I have to pay back any of my leave benefits? I guess I could ask HR, but wouldn't want to throw out any warnings.

I’ve doing this for a good number of years. I think I depleted almost completely my interest in this business. When I’m out of the office or during the weekends I get into a “leave me alone state” and don’t want to know anything about the office. I actually just want to get in the agency, do the best I can within the time I have available, and get out. In a business where “the most committed wins” this is not an ideal mindset, but I’m done. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

Anyone gone from PA to CBRE ? Do you like it ?

How much do Jr. creatives make at BBDO NY?

Is it normal for a talent firm to not disclose the agency they are actively recruiting for until you’re on the phone with them? Also said recruiter told me 45-55K is “too high” for a junior creative right out of school in Chicago. Thoughts?

What’s the best way to maximize having both the chase freedom unlimited and sapphire preferred?

For context, I’ve had the unlimited for 2 years and just opened the preferred because of the bonus offer. I will hit the $4k spending target, but after that, what’s the best way to use these two in tandem, given the unlimited rewards are all around much better.

Curious the pay difference between SAP and partner consulting firms. What can a S4 HANA cloud or OnPrem consultant expect to get paid at a place like EY or another big 4 firm with 3-5 years of experience in PMO/Functional Consulting roles with an MBA?

Hi Fishes, I am ready to resign from my current organisation and I was wondering if I need to discuss this with my reporting manager first. I have never talked to my reporting manager , do I need to discuss with him before I resign or I should just do it in the portal directly.

Why did you become a Sales Engineer?

I’ll start: Happenstance.

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is. My vp is super anal about anything we do. I understand these guys pull in huge commissions and bonuses that’s why they are so motivated. However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?

What is sales engineering? And how does one get into it?

Recruiter for big tech company reached out on LinkedIn about a role. I asked about ballpark compensation numbers and they said they’re only comfortable sharing on a live call. Replied that I often receive LinkedIn offers for roles of paycuts around 30-50% so I want to make sure we’re in the same rough range. Recruiter again said she would only share via live call. Is this a red flag?
