Need advice on whether I should accept an offer for solution engineer at Salesforce versus staying as senior consultant (salesforce implementation) at Big 4. Will make manager in 12 months at Big4, versus likely taking 24 months to make senior SE at Salesforce. Salesforce role will be a 10% base comp increase and 50% total comp increase compared to my current role. Thoughts on what I should do?

Take the offer. I just left consulting for an SE role at SF and it has been life changing, both with the comp and the WLB.

Since SC1 got an RSU grant, that would mean they are grade 7, so Lead SE.

SE roles are not going to put you on a path for future growth.

like

P1, care to expand? You can lateral to PPM or PM in big tech as a SE

Also will diversify profile for b-school

If your goal is to make Partner then agreed SE will not help, but if you can to maximize comp now will WLB and get into big tech where all the growth is overall then think it is a great move for OP

OP, did they accept your salary request of $110k base?

I would ask for senior or lead SE. Assuming you have at least 5 YOE unless you are SA at PWC?

Well I guess it would really be what you want to do next. If you want to do sales/CSM/product marketing/tech then SE would be really good. If you want to be a consultant or program manager someday then stick with B4

It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
