Anyone work as a Salesforce Business Analyst and could give me some insight on what that role entails, qualifications needed and best places to look for roles like this? Is it a bad time to try to be transitioning into a Salesforce role?

I’m at big 4 doing SF BA work and it’s a mix of doing PPT/excel, SF config, leading meetings with clients, and doing requirements/UAT/testing. For qualifications, from my experience certs only matter to get ur foot in the door. But experience with actual SF is so much more l valuable

I will add a few other things I have done as aSF Business Analyst - update design documents (functional and technical), creating training materials and delivering them, build POCs etc.

There is never a bad time to learn a new skill...and SF is still HOT and extremely intuitive and fun..mho.

You may already be here (my next comment) but my recommendation would be to create yourself a Salesforce DEV Org amd start Trailheads!

Feel free to DM if you wish. I am always happy to share any insight I might have if someone truly wants it 😉
