I would likely try to be more engaged in firm activities like the extracurricular stuff. Found this was a good way to build a bigger network, lead initiatives, learn new things, etc. When I initially started I just tried to stay focused on the work and then kind of got unfulfilled doing just that. It’s hard with the volume of stuff thrown at us to take on other extracurriculars but if you can find something your truly interested in I feel it could help.

Hi..

I've been approached for a Manager - Technical Consulting position at Salesforce India.

How are the technical rounds on a quotient of 1-10(1 being very less and 10 being extremely technical)?
Should I prepare for something specifically?

And what is the current package provided by Salesforce for the same position?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
