I had given interview with google almost 1 month back and 2 weeks later got a mail to collect some information about me like college grades, promotions in past , references in google etc. I have not heard back after that and hr is also not responding. Any guidance if I will hear back at all or shall I stop waiting?Google
Microsoft is hiring an account executive and I’m really interested in the role. I have B2B sales experience in a different industry, but my skills include lead generation, prospecting, account management, negotiating, etc (all within the C Suite and other decision makers).
Would appreciate knowing if this is something I have a shot at with no tech sales experience and what I could expect for promotional opportunities and compensation.
Thanks for the help!

I actually worked as a branch advisor at Wells Fargo for a bit, and here’s the real deal: it’s solid if you’re good with people and comfortable with sales pressure. The base salary was okay, but the real money came from hitting quarterly goals and building deeper relationships with walk-ins or warm leads. I had months where it felt great and others where it was a grind. It’s not a “sit back and advise” kind of role, it’s fast, metrics-driven, and you’ve got to be proactive.
As a Premier Banker, whose primary job is to generate leads and make referrals to the branch advisor, I can tell you I made 2-3 times as much as our branch advisor in each of his first three years.
It can be a grind for sure, and they recently made it so have to produce over 300k in annual revenue before you can hit a six figure annual compensation. This means you have to be very good at moving people from cash and rates to financial planning and investments. Depending on the branch demographic, this can be difficult.
I was a national MVP for 2024 and our advisor only managed to convert about 10 million of the 60 million dollars in referrals/new money that I brought in.
