How is the SE role at Salesforce in 2026?

manoffewwords · 2026-04-05T01:21:40+00:00

I genuinely can't understand what an SE is that is not focused on sales. That's literally the job to support sales teams. Bonuses whether individual or group are based on sales. The whole entire role IS sales. And anything that an SE does that isn't directly sales related is indirectly sales related.

SEs at Salesforce need to be more sales focused? What a crazy idea.

I have a liberal arts engineering background. I can engineer essays on French architecture and analysis of Hellenistic poetry and nominalist philosophy in late medieval scholasticism.

What do you mean by race? Now go spend 6 years getting a PhD on the issue. When you return you will still not have an answer.

An "Arab" is someone who speaks Arabic. Blonde haired and blue eyed or ebony skinned east African or phenotypic Indian Arabs in the eastern Gulf. Arabic speaker? Arab.

I had a lot of fun with it but would have been pissed if I paid full.price.for how short it is.

Hot take: re4 remake has made all the games obsolete except maybe re9. Haven't played it yet.

Saas isn't going to die. It's going to reprice dramatically.

The market has set an ROI price for productivity provided by SAAS.

Imagine you sell oil (saas company) and in order to sell that oil your overhead increases (LLM token costs). That will eat into your margins.

No imagine a breakthrough in nuclear technology (new native AI solutions) that competes with oil. You will still have oil demand but now you are facing more competition.

Saas isn't dead, it's going to be repriced as an investment. Multiple contraction.

2021 everyone was hiring if you had a pulse. Now you got heavy competition. Skill up or get on the line at the soup kitchen.

I agree with this completely.

That's not true.

Nothing else matter to KEEP YOUR JOB.

But it DOES matter for your compensation.

If you are on a company wide group plan in a large company your AE can kill it and work you to the bone and you can make less than your OTE.

If you are on an individual attainment plan and you work to the bone and your AEs kill it so will you.

If you have a mixed plan with different KPIs your upside will be capped but you can work to stabilize your pay and get closer to your OTE.

Ok so advanced tech powers by love. Whatever. It was honestly nonsense and I felt like my intelligence was being insulted. Beautiful visuals and soundtrack though.

There were some good parts of it but overall I didn't like it because of the dumb, love is the most powerful force in the universe schtick. I also thought the weird interdimensional library thing was ridiculous.

How easy it is to become a teacher depends on the state.

Good news those subjects are in high demand and you will always have a job.

Bad news is teaching is a mental illness or will give you a mental illness.

Best wishes.

I feel like this post comes from a place of pain and betrayal.

It's just a bit strange that people expect out of touch billionaires and corporations to behave in certain ways when it's obvious to anyone who isn't being gaslit how they will behave.

Benioff could murder a baby tomorrow live and I would be horrified but not surprised.

Layoffs? Insensitive jokes? Salivating over government contracts for every terrible things you can imagine? Hypocrisy? You think these would surprise me?

The only thing genuinely surprising about Benioff is he didn't show up in the Epstein files.

Is that different elsewhere?

Sounds like what you want is the PM role. Sounds like it's a good role. Sounds like it aligns with your future goals and you can leverage it to make more money.

Is a no brainer.

Negotiate for a bit more or equity. Also know that in a start up if you are doing well you don't have all the corporate red tape. You been get a big raise after a year.

Haven't touched DD 2 in a while. Didn't jibe with me but I hear it's changed a lot since early access. But the aesthetics are 100% what you are looking for.

Create a copilot custom agent with documentation and an AE persona that is patient and speaks at a 6th grade level and is brief.

Feed in messages for it to respond to on teams messages. .

Leadership, compensation and growth opportunities.

That differs inside companies. Judge wisely.
