Internal transfers in Salesforce

Aug 29, 2020 15 Comments

I have a bachelors degree from India and have been working with Salesforce for over a year now. I’ve Been Android App Developer through my three years at college and have experience with AWS too.

Currently I am Not a fan of the work I do at my office.
it’s primarily BI work with ML/AI POCs.
I enjoy the POC part but really wanna change my team and get into something associated to Development and ML.

Also, I want to Shift to the US.

I had a brief conversation with an internal recruiter at Salesforce who suggested that it is possible to shift to Data Science Role in the US.

However, I want to understand are there roles out there which allow you development as well as AI/ML work?

Also, what should I expect in my career as a Data Scientist at Salesforce.

And some recommendations, if any, on internal shifts in SF into such teams in the Bay Area.

    Try approaching hiring managers from ML teams in Einstein cloud maybe and do some networking.
    Ask them what can be done from ur side to do a switch into their US team from India.
    You might find someone who genuinely want to help.

  • Hey I’m also working for one of the branches of salesforce, and looking for opportunities in data science role in the US. I’m just wondering when you are contacting a hiring manager, what should you say? Like “hey I’m interested in your opening roles, but do you hire people internationally now?” I tried this way but most of the time i just got ignored... so I’m wondering if you could tell me how do you contact to hiring managers?

    • Schedule a coffee chat with them (their time zone). Offer to reschedule if that time doesn’t work. Tell them you’d like to learn more about what their team does. Treat it purely as conversation and information gathering, NOT as an interview or “can you hire me” meeting. Repeat with anyone that interests you.

      People do it.
      The only requirement is u need to find a hiring manager who is willing to hire u and also the SVP of the receiving org should approve the transfer for budget allocation.

    • Thanks a lot guys.
      I thought it’ll be tough. I guess I’ll just start looking and talking to people. Something should work out.

    @op - When you say - However, I want to understand are there roles out there which allow you development as well as AI/ML work?

    This mostly resonates with a machine learning engineer kind of role
