What is the promotion process at Salesforce? Been here for 1.5 years and hoping to be promoted. When will we find out?

People are nominated in November and May by their managers. Promotions are announced to the org in February and August (oftentimes, your manager will tell you much before this).

You would probably know if you were put up for promotion based on talks with your manager - the process is very competitive and not being promoted is one of the biggest areas of frustration for many groups. As one data point, I’ve been nominated two cycles in a row (been placed in S&G both, with significant amounts of contributions outside of delivery) and been denied both times.

Let me know if you have any other questions, because I know the process well (unfortunately).

May I know which level are you at ?
If you change internally between departments. Do you get raises or increase in salary that way ?

How long would it take from L8 to L9 ?

You need to advocate for your own promotion. You need to make it known you want it and ask your manager what you need to do to get there. There are “expectations” for each level and you need to be able to tell a story as to why you’re performing at the next level.

Went through this last FY…Got hired as Lead SE, Got Principal after 2 years.

I was nominated for promotion and they said I have a good chance but depends on the business. I’m a senior analyst right now.

If you’re put up for promotion is it likely you’ll get promoted or no

It depends on you and your case and the number of promotion slots.
