There's a lot a chatter (not Chatter) in this bowl over the last year about consultants joining Salesforce. What about the other way around - consultants leaving Salesforce or plotting their exit? We know you're out there....

There are folks leaving as well for better comp. in most cases. The SF tag is helpful and you get easy opportunities with SIs/ customers who pay better if you level up

I would leave SF program architect role any day for a consulting role. Past 7 engagements in my 5 years of consulting, I have come across more than 10 PAs from SF. All of them are nice guys but added 0 value to client and no impact at all. None of them got extended for more than 1 phase of the project while we receive continuous renewals.

There are many excellent PA's, but unlike Big4/ACN, they don't get the opportunity to participate in the pursuit process and scope work appropriately, nor can they network to get staffed to engagements that fit their individual skills (huge faux pas to even try in CSG). So some unaccountable sales guy (Account Partner) sells "PA's can do anything" and some staffing person says "here's a body", and it doesn't matter that the person + contract + client need are all misaligned.

Amen to that!

I have yet to find anyone else in the SF world providing anything close to SF salaries or benefits

It used to be that only level 7 and higher got unlimited PTO but I believe last April they applied it to everyone.

It's temporary at best, most will move on 1-2 years

Just curious to how my firms (wealth management/bank/trust) comp compares with others out there.

By meeting expectations in 2 pay cycles, the base bumps up to $175K + bonus.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
