Salesforce or Workday? I’m considering to switch to a product based company as a product owner/manager role? I know a little of both Salesforce and Workday. So I will have an equal learning curve regardless. Which out of these 2 are better in terms of more exciting opportunities, better culture, work life balance, compensation, benefits etc etc.

Salesforce

The capabilities, and usage of Salesforce is so vast as to seem limitless for business applications. Workday is a great product that is more focused on specific functions related to people management/payroll/finance etc.

So if you’re looking to focus on people stuff, workday. For the entire universe of other stuff, salesforce

Do you have an offer from each?

I don’t think being aligned to that product is the most valuable skill in joining a product organisation. I think being customer obsessed, knowing how to work with partner channels, and being able to solve business problems first and foremost and being savvy with how the commercials are going to work across customer, partner and your company. These are what you’re gonna need, .

Of course if you want to be a tech arch or something like that in which case you need to be product obsessed and know how to deliver as part of a product team. Being a good SI does not make you a good product company employee though.

Hello folks at Uber, I’ve been approached by a recruiter for the role of a Regional Operations Manager - Eats’ Marketplace team.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
