Traction on Demand employee here - I’m sure people have heard about the acquisition by Salesforce today. Wanted to hear about how that experience went for others who were acquired by Salesforce in the past (Acumen, Velocity, mulesoft, slack, etc.)

Every Friday, I like to end on a high note by randomly going on mute during Zoom calls—and complimenting the muthaluvin fuk out of all my CDs and team members in the most disrespectful tone possible. Then I wonder—had they heard me, would they have been flattered or fukin pissed at my complimentary azz? The thrill of never knowing the answer to this lights my candyazz up with joy n fear like a coked-out Christmas tree.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
