Salesforce Success Manager - Director compensation
I'm working with a recruiter at Salesforce to work in the Boston area as Success Manager with 12+ years experience. The woman who referred me said SF doesn't pay for relocation as a practice. I'm currently in Oregon at Intel. How can I nudge the conversation to work in my favor for a move? Could a signing bonus (see below) could be the best path to take? What is the average salary / package offered for this type of position? I've seen quite a range on Glassdoor - 125k - 175k. Assuming an offer is presented, I want to negotiate on a signing bonus to compensate for stock vesting at Intel, annual bonus, and Q1 bonus, which would amount to 20k. How much pushback should I anticipate?
SM is focused on customer success. You will either work from home or be at a client site . It does not require relo so I doubt SF will pay for any relocation. I don't think that there is any signing bonus either.
Completely depends on the hiring manager, their budget and their team. You should absolutely try and negotiate and you should ask for help on relocation. I know hiring managers who will give sign ons as a way to help offset move cost.
Salesforce recruiters are pretty easy to negotiate with I think. They will lowball and then if you say you are not happy they will go up easily. Relocation signing bonus is for office jobs only. I would ask for more RSU. They bumped my rsu package by 30%
Find the same role in the West
Typically SMs are not an in office role. IE - you work from home or onsite at client. Doubt they would relocate this role, maybe ask about SMs openings in the West regions...
