Hey everyone!

I’ve been in Salt Lake City abit over a year now and I am a Salesforce developer pursuing a masters in computer science with a concentration in intelligent systems and data mining. I am trying to break out of the Salesforce ecosystem and having a tricky time trying to do that through ATS’s. I was wondering if there are any software engineers or software architects who would be willing to connect and share some insights into how to break into the broader tech ecosystem here in SLC

I’m not who you’re looking for and unable to really help but wish you the best of luck!

As an aside, how do you like Slalom and the SLC office?

That’s a really common challenge breaking out of the Salesforce ecosystem can be harder than expected, even with strong experience and a master’s program focused on intelligent systems and data mining. ATS filters tend to lock you into whatever your last role was, which makes transitioning into the broader software engineering space frustrating.

When I was navigating something similar in my own job search, I worked with a job search specialist who helped me reframe my experience and get my applications noticed in more competitive tech roles. If you’d like guidance on positioning your skills beyond Salesforce or breaking into the wider SLC tech ecosystem, you can reach out to her at carolynchristiehiringteam.gmail.com.

My son got his computer science degree May 2025 and can't find work. The competition is fierce as people with experience and masters face downsizing. He has literally tried everything but still no luck. Any advice or help to get his foot in the door??

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
