Hi everyone,
I have joined Tech M recently, I got hired via a subsidiary called Zen3. Is there any difference or challenges I would face since they should be the same company as per my knowledge. Also the onsite opportunity would be less here? Please give your thoughts.. Thanks 🙏 Tech Mahindra

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).
I have two years of automotive/aerospace manufacturing experience and am looking for new opportunities. I recently applied to a Solution Engineer - Commercial Manufacturing, Automotive, Energy (MAE) role at Salesforce, and it sounds like a great fit. Is anyone willing to offer me a referral or advice on how to move forward in the hiring process? Salesforce

What percentage of your total comp is in RSUs?
Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.
I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.
The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.
Thoughts?

I don’t have any experience there, but congrats on the interview! Excited to hear how it goes.
Thank you!
That's huuuge, congrats! No experience there either but hopefully this comment gets you some traction. Best of luck!
Thank you so much!
I worked as an SE for a few years before changing role internally.
Well done on the interview. The phone interviews can be quite box-ticky, so just make sure you are STAR- question'd up prior to taking the call, depending on your interviewer (probably an internal recruiter at this stage).
Have a good list of personal projects, initiatives you have led etc for this and later calls. IBM tends to like people who can lead and be innovative from non-leadership roles.
It's always nice to mention things about the company from the news- statements of direction, acquisitions, and launches. Talking about Watsonx is always a winner.
In IBM Technology, there is a mantra that everyone is a seller. So be ready to talk about how you can take commercial elements of some parts of the sales process, and can think of things from a sales hat as well as technical.
Good luck with it!
This is extremely helpful, thank you so much!
Be in the know with watsonx :) good luck
I can confirm the "everyone is a seller" at IBM. I was an SE for a few years and that's partially why I left. Got handed a list of prospects with no AE info. Clearly they wanted me to sell. I mean SEs have to do some selling. I get that but it wasn't what I signed up for.
