Come join West Monroe’s Salesforce practice. We are a platinum partner and are leading efforts around nCinco, CPQ, Service Cloud, and Sales Cloud. Our culture takes many of the good parts of the Big 4 in terms of type of work and development of our people but without a lot of the negatives of the large firms. We do not have a southwest office yet, but if you are willing to travel, we may have a spot for you.

@WM1, not sure if you’ve noticed but a lot of your seasoned Salesforce folks that we are willing to accept are joining DD these days... #JustSaying. A big part of this is because of what myself and DD2 mentioned plus more!

@DD1 is correct especially since our studios are hiring salesforce folks which is a completely different vibe than the consulting part of DD

If you really know things get job in Amazon they are hiring salesforce guys like anything but you should know things not a fake architect not knowing what is before update trigger used for

Why not slalom itself when you have all those (atleast based on what I have seen in fb)?

We're looking for good Salesforce skilled people.

You are a certified salesforce CTA? If yes don't join Big 4. Do independent consulting.

Ey1 Slalom is a great firm; it’s just not meeting my needs

Thx protiviti. Looking you all up

Got it op! Good luck with your search. If you want to stay technical try getting into tech firms where you have a defined path even for a individual contributor role. In big 4 as you go up you ll be more salesey than a techie.

Here at Deloitte Digital we’re trying to be the best w/o having all the “Big 4 headache”... I can tell you personally if I left it would be for Slalom from what friends have told me about the place... or Appirio (before WiPeo bought them out, lol). If Slalom doesn’t work for you then either here @DDigital or Salesforce themselves... altho they are growing more and more into a too big of a company internally type atmosphere now as well from what I have been hearing... so that would leave here @DDigital ;)

We have a growing Salesforce practice and are currently looking for more resources I really appreciate and respect our practice leaders and feel like we have a really great team. A bit of a startup environment within the protection of a established company. Offices are regional or remote. Check us out!

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews!

But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?

I work for a tech company that pays 100k tc plus 50,000 stock options. I have great work life balance, work 4 days per week on a 32 hour schedule plus it’s remote. Lately, I’ve been feeling like the compensation is on the lower end and just wanted to see if it’s in line with industry standards

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?
