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).

Yeah, why not? My personal finances are not related to the company and I don't need to feel bad about advocating for myself. They can always say no, but I'm always going to ask.

Love this perspective
In this situation more than any other you will want to come armed with the details of how you have earned a raise. What specific impact have you made that is deserving of a salary increase? Rising cost of living is not personal impact.

Thank you! Makes sense
You need to double down on the value you are bringing to the company during that trying time for them. It’s not a guarantee, but that is the only way you are going to have a hope.

Will do this. Thank you.
Agree with the other posts. Focus on merit.
Do not try justifying it based on inflation. You wouldn't want a pay cut if we have deflation.

Love this analogy, thank you!
