I have two offers 1. Health-tech startup (not really, they have been around for the past 4-5 years and received multiple series of funding from well-known firms like GS etc...) in telehealth as TPM. Base: $165k; No bonus; 20k in options (2-year cliff and 4-year vesting schedule. Currently valued at $3 per option). They have talented management at C level and VP level (at least LinkedIn tells me that they are from MITs, worked as executives at Microsoft, Amazon, Google in the past) 2. Solutions Architect at Salesforce (Salesforce Industries) in Healthcare: Base: 145k; Bonus $20k, paid quarterly; RSU $40k (1-year cliff, 4-year vesting). Have the option to participate in ESOPs (15% discount) I did pros and cons but still not able to decide. Thought I could take your viewpoints At the startup, I can have an accelerated growth path. But not sure what my career would be like if I leave them in 2 years or so At Salesforce, I get a logo on my resume. I don't have any such logo on my resume other than IT services. Also financially seems a tad bit better in ST #TPM #Solutions Architect #salesforce
Why Salesforce TC is low?
You remember that Vlocity acquisition. Vlocity used to implement SF for various clients. Now they are part of Salesforce. The position is part of Salesforce industries and not the product itself. Like other consulting companies, folks in this division are billable resources
Long term SA career path would be much more rewarding than TPM
Thanks. Your comment helps. The career path is definitely a concern I have. SF called today and increased the RSU by a nominal amount of 8k
I would suggest to take it and use it to build your experience. In the first five years of your career, focusing more on learning than earning. You have life long to earn.
Make a poll, I vote for SalesForce.
Thanks. I created a poll as recommended. So, what was your rationale to choose Salesforce or not choose the start-up. Just trying to get more view points
SF package looks better. In addition to that I think it’ll be easier to jump to another big company afterwards. Also, health related software is hard.
