Applied at Salesforce jobs website (workday) to two positions with multiple locations: "Software Architect" and "SDE All Levels". They sucked in job history from Linked plus uploaded my resume. After few days got generic rejection "we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates". My resume is pretty solid and I'm currently preparing for onsite in FAANG company, so I didn't expect that reaction. I mean Salesforce wasn't my top choice, it's no biggie, just curios why? Anything special they looking for? YoE: 15 TC: 295k Not a minority, not disabled.
They actually arent hiring
Im not salty, its just opportunity to learn something new. May be they expect certain buzz words on the resume and I would like to know for the future.
You are doing it wrong. If you are currently interviewing with FAANG, all you need to do is drop in a message to any technical recruiter at Salesforce with something like, “Hey just wanted to reach out to you to see if there are some exciting opportunities at Salesforce. I am currently interviewing with companies that operate at scale like Amazon and Apple but Salesforce is one of the companies at the top of my list.” Not verbatim, but something on those lines after rambling about your past experience. Easy peasy.
That might be it. Maybe workday website is not the right way. I'll try emailing recruiter directly. Thank you!
@JohnMcPee you're the reason why I'm on blind
They can’t afford you! Stay focused on FANG!
They did the same to me. I agree with you it wasn’t a big loss by any means given that Microsoft is a way bigger dog in the world than Salesforce. But I was still irritated they rejected without actually knowing anything about me, I also have 10 years of DIRECT experience. I wonder if they know they can’t afford us?
Has happened to me at other companies. I didn't make a big deal of it. I also didn't take a privileged view that they could not afford me.
What’s your TC? Let’s find out. It’s not entitled to know that a company pays at a scale below what you get paid. Don’t get all self-righteous on us.
Microsoft and Salesforce overlap in pay. There are many people from Microsoft here, I am sure Microsoft has people from Sales force too. If you are above average in either, then it is reasonable to expect other won't match. For average Joe in either company, assumption doesn't hold true.
Could have been beaten by an internal transfer or someone that was a refer.
