      OP
      I am just tired of all the tryhards at Google making me feel bad, and want to go somewhere where coasting is the norm 😂

  • There are some open roles here and there but in terms of wlb, Salesforce’s has kinda gone to shit for a lot of teams during the pandemic. I used to have decent wlb but now I’m headed straight for burnout. I don’t think there’s anyone in my org to have taken a vacation since the start of the year... But anyway, if you’re applying and you’re in Bellevue, just be very careful if the hiring manager used to work for Amazon or Microsoft..

    Also, the colleague above me is right about the compensation.

  • Salesforce pays well initially but no refreshers for vast majority. Your TC will sink after 4th year. Don't plan for staying longer there if money drives you. Its good wlb though and most people are happy just coasting with below market pay compared to faang(for similar levels)

  • MSFT is definitely team specific too. Avoid Azure and Teams if you’re looking to coast.
