I'm pretty unhappy in my current role at Salesforce, but compensated well. Probably too well for what I'm worth, if I'm being honest. Recently got an offer to join Dropbox in a similar role but comp is about 25% less and have been told I cannot move it any further. Liked the people I met more than my team at Salesforce and I generally think Dropbox is more interesting. But maybe I'm wrong? Really looking for some guidance on how to weigh this decision of taking less comp and evaluating Dropbox vs Salesforce as companies/career opportunities.
Yeah Salesforce is known for golden handcuffs. Dropbox is known for strong design and Engg. If you’re junior or mid probably makes sense. But the company is worth 6B not 10B (when you value your equity). And I wouldn’t expect it to be a strong stock. Do it for the team and learning.
What matters to you? Money will come and go, but your time here on earth is limited. You can be a mercenary, but for how long?
What's the difference percentage-wise?
How do you know your compensation is low? Dont believe the numbers here
Where are you in Salesforce? What role level you have vs you will have?
Salesforce sucks ass I chose oath over Salesforce that's how shitty it was
Bad move as you will find all kinds of dysfunction at Dropbox and make 25 percent less. You will hate yourself in a year. Find something motivating at SFDC, new goals, networking. Grass is never greener on the other side
100% not true. I just left 3M where I felt sick to my stomach at the daily stubborn ignorance to an identical role in a different industry. The difference in competence and general working conditions is night and day.
It is, I left Salesforce and I'm so happy. Get out
I remember your posts under Salesforce.. asslint...i guess you left to Verizon? What did you get as better? Give us some points
Oh yes Grass is greener on the other side a lot of times. Get out and live a little.

Please accept Indians. I can’t go back. 🇺🇸🙏
Didn’t Dropbox just file for IPO? Maybe you can get stock to compensate for the salary?
