Got an offer from Salesforce SMTS Hyderabad. Recruiter had promised for 75LPA CTC. Recruiter mentioned that they did role fit for LMTS and voted for High SMTS. My current CTC is 45 lacs. YoE - 9 At Amazon, I am hopeful to be promoted to SDE-3 by next year. Want to know more about growth prospective after joining ? I am concerned that it would be fresh start at Salesforce and would take 2-3 years for moving to LMTS.
On average it takes 2-3 years from SMTS to LMTS, people have done it in 1.5 years too.
I definitely think you should get lmts in sf at this exp. They are definitely lowballing you Probably try next year for lmts role How much base in 75 tc?
Really good offer for SMTS! Word of advice, try to push for LMTS. Which team you’re getting into?
Industries cloud
There is nothing like high SMTS, also no point joining at lower level specially when titles are inflated at salesforce. Though TC of 75 LPA is definitely LMTS level ( unless it contains high amount of joining bonus )
What is meant by inflated titles?
People getting higher ranks easily
Promotion will take 1.5 year but Promotions are fast here. I have joined as SMTS with same YOE as yours , and i am LMTS now.
CTC is high for SMTS. But with you experience you can push for LMTS. I am getting LMTS with 7.2 years of experience. My org is saying 1 year for Sde for last 3 years. Finally I have decided to leave.
Did you joined Salesforce as SMTS?
It might take you at least 2 years to build the domain knowledge and make a case for LMTS. Amazon SDE-3 would be higher comp wise.
