YOE:15
Role: Technical Architect
Location: Seattle, WA
Base : $196k
RSU: 54k for 3 years
Yearly Bonus: Upto 15%
Department: Customer Success Group
Joining Bonus: Zero

When asked about joining bonus, recruiter was saying that people join Salesforce for culture and not for bonus and they don’t give bonus. Is zero bonus normal for this department?

Another question: Is internal transfer to Hyderabad , India possible? If yes, what could be the pay for this role in India?

  • I don’t understand how you explained your numbers. Your TC is 196k? Or base? Because I would hope we didn’t low ball you that badly if it’s 196k base + the rsu + bonus then that’s fair and within reason of the TA (Level 7) role.

    TA is at the same level as SMTS and transfer to India is highly doubtful. They say it’s easy but it’s far from reality. You might have to interview with other teams in India to find a similar position. It’s not going to be a cakewalk that’s all.

    By the way, the RSU is fine as TA is not under TMP — it’s under CSG (customer success/professional services)

    • Microsoft has similar model where you will be interviewed and taken into any team and salary also will be decided by that team. But good part is they also give hefty amount (20-30k) to accommodate internal transfer costs. Haven’t seen much experiences around that for Salesforce

      Salesforce is slowly turning into a really bad Microsoft. Very honestly the folks at Microsoft I’ve spoken to are way better tech EMs than the ones we have in Salesforce

    Purely technical role, but in CSG org. TA and SWE have exactly same Grade Profile and exactly same OTE range. However, SWEs get higher RSUs.

    Yours is a L7 position (=SMTS).
    Internal transfer possible after 1 year.
