This post is contributed by Priya Nair, a Salesforce Developer with 9 years of hands-on CPQ and Billing implementation experience across manufacturing, SaaS, and telecommunications clients. My situation last October: acquired company, redundant team, role eliminated within the month. I had not interviewed in 3 years and Revenue Cloud was my entire specialization. Over the next 5 months I cleared 14 technical screens. What I was not ready for was how differently each company framed the same topic: a SaaS startup cared about product catalog architecture, a telecom client went deep on Billing triggers, and a financial services firm put me through a live pricing waterfall exercise in round two. The 20 questions below document what I actually saw, with the answers that worked and the ones I had to rebuild after early failures.
