I had an interview for an SE position. After learning that I would have to juggle 30 customers at a time, I said no thanks, I don't care for that much context switching. Instead I work for Slalom Silicon Valley and focus on one customer at a time.

You don’t juggle 30 at a time 🤦🏼‍♂️

SE role is the best position no one ever told you existed. Most relaxed hours and the pay is awesome. Jumped from big 4 to salesforce and haven’t looked back 🤓

how many customers did you have to manage at a given time?

It can be a great career change. The SEs I’ve worked with are great and you get a much better work life balance

Seems like it’s really hard to get a SE position tho. I’ve applied for several with referrals from SF and multiple interviews but never any offers

Just got 56% increase in fixed pay whereas others are offering 100%. Even now Cognizant is willing to give more than 100%. Just wanted to hear from you guys on this.

Hi All, two questions (1) does anyone know how much time does it take for a salesforce recruiter to covert a ‘verbal offer’ into an formal ‘offer letter’. (2)
Also, what are the kind of employment checks they run post generating the offer letter and how long does that process takes to complete? I presume after the reference checks, they issue an unconditional offer letter?
