Hi everyone, I recently got an SMTS offer from Tableau with a 2 week expiry.
Firstly, thanks to everyone here for curating so much helpful career advice. I think that this site made a tremendous impact on navigating my job search.
I'm currently an L4 at Amazon, but my manager says that I can probably get promoted in Q2 of this year. Looking to leave Amazon given the WLB, culture, and promotion process.
I would accept straight away, but I have final rounds with Google, Hubspot, and Atlassian coming up, and I'm not sure these will fit the timeline Tableau is expecting.
For all Blinders:
- Is this a good shift away from Amazon L4? WLB is important to me, but the consensus on Blind seems to be that it should be de-prioritized early in your career.
- Should I expect a better offer package from any of these companies that I am still waiting on?
- What are your thoughts on going back on an accepted job offer? I have some ethical concerns on this, but have seen other Blinders disagree.
For Tableau employees:
- What is it like working as an SMTS? Will I be in over my head given my YOE?
YOE: 1.5
Offer TC: 260k
Current TC: 180k

Edit:
Offer is for Seattle office, breakdown is 180k base, 27k yearly bonus, 50k yearly stock.

I agree that you shouldn’t chase WLB this early on your career, however as an ex-AWS, I understand your position. I would say take the offer but leave on good terms with current team. Amazon is a great company and don’t burn the bridges.
Congrats! 🍾
Are you coming in with the experience they asked for? Right tech stack and other skills?You will probably be fine. Many are hired SMTS at 2+ years experience.
Can’t speak to Tableau’s expectations of an SMTS vs other parts of SFDC. Every part of SFDC is just a little different from the others, despite having broad shared definitions of roles.
