Salesforce teams

I work in pardot t&p (operations specifically) and I absolutely love it.

I work in sayonara and it's been a great experience

Is the Sales Cloud team a good one to start with? I’m considering Salesforce for my next career move.

SalesforceIQ within sales cloud is a good off core team with petabyte scale problems . You’ll grow quickly as a back end engineer. Legacy core teams have slow growth and you’ll acquire outdated skills that won’t be useful outside Salesforce. Try to work on open source stack.
