Salesforce- Trying to interview with Salesforce for a director position for professional services. Recruiter call it was mentioned the process is likely going to be slow. They are trying to retain layoff Employees and she will bring it up with the hiring team about external hire. Also she made a point we are looking for someone with Salesforce implementation. Does this sound like it will not move forward? I didn’t get a positive vibe. Thoughts?

I had intervened with them last year for a Sr director role and cleared all interview till last round when they mentioned it was on hold due to company wide layoffs but I will be considered for final round when things open up again. No word….may be the recruiter also was laid off. IMHO it’s a waste of time till situation stabilizes…..you prepare and attend all interviews and then you are told you are on hold

My honest advice - if you are looking to get into the ecosystem - is to begin training on trailhead. Focus on the admin beginner trails so that you become familiar with the platform. Delivery is a tough game, because you must be hands-on to be successful.

I’m a Prof Svcs director within the HLS vertical and have worked with many payers. Happy to chat if you DM me

Steer clear for now. Try Big4 or Accenture HLS practices.

Have not seen layoffs at Big4 yet. Surprised Accenture is laying off. I’ve seen hiring freeze thou.

Director is just a rank/title - is it a delivery position? Sales? Strategy?

Delivery

Professional services is probably the only team that is still hiring in Salesforce so a lot of laid of employees are applying for those roles and given that most of the laid off employees are top performers with tons of knowledge and tenure I believe they have competitive advantage

What’s the role? Delivery? And probably not. We laid off 8000 people. They get first dibs.

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

I’ve received several take home assignments that clearly use real company data or give a good indication to a company’s future strategy. If I wanted to be petty, assuming I haven’t signed any NDA or fine print promising secrecy, could I share this information publicly without facing legal repercussions?

Obviously I know it’s ill advised and this is purely hypothetical, but just from a legal standpoint, would I get in trouble? Seems like an obvious way to get back at a company.
