Hi All,

Have been on the market for a few months now- 6 years of relevant experience with Salesforce and 10 total years. Im a solutions/functional consultant, but majority of these conversations (later rounds) end up requiring developer responsibilities/skillset. Assuming orgs are being a bit more conservative and trying to combine multiple roles into one.

Anyone know of organizations (SI pref) looking for true functional consultants or any guidance on JBs outside of LI/dice?

Thanks!

Majority of work (Enterprise) has been done is Healthcare & Lifesciences, FS and manufacturing - some others in Telecom. Enterprise Landscape: SF core clouds, ERPs and other third party integrated applications within those industries .

Thank you!

I would assume a FC has a SF Admin (minimum) and can turn dials and knobs with the Org, upload data, etc. It’s much more than writing stories
