Has anyone here pivoted out of a finance role into a Salesforce admin role successfully? What did your path look like? Did you purchase any courses to train and learn? TIA.

Are you looking for a job that ChatAI can replace? SFDC admin = Revenue Operations professional, so I'd read Skip Miller's "Selling Above and Below the Line," get a Salesforce Administrator Certification, spend a year building programs in Marketo, all while working a Customer Success job. Get good at building REST APIs, and know how an individual can be an MQL, SQL, SAL, and how to attribute these in different manners. Salesforce Ben is a great starting point, buy all their material for sure (I passed the cert off it). Adobe has terrible learning material for Marketo...
