Hi 🐟🐠🐡,
Does anyone here work in a Salesforce role? I’m trying to break into it as I’m wanting to carve a career path with that software and it seems that most people I speak with “fall into” the role. I expect to have my first cert (admin) within the next few weeks and have a few years of functional/technical consulting. Could definitely use your advice/help! Only looking at remote options currently 😊

There’s a Salesforce bowl on FB that could have more targeted advice and info

Fishbowl! On trailhead there’s also a mentorship program you can register for.

Yep on both accounts. Fell into it after being in IT for 10 years and working with other CRMs/ERPs. Then I went to a nonprofit as an IT Director where I learned and administrated Salesforce. Fast forward to now and I do consulting for nonprofits.

Of course! The living portfolio can be a very powerful thing to show prospective interviewers. Do some mini projects, practice some concepts and then give them logins or do virtual tours of your instance to show what you know.

They’re constantly growing. Just put your hand up

Anyone heard of any firms offering 100% remote for FDD? I've gotten messaged on LinkedIn a couple times about opportunities, but the recruiters never give up the firm name without a call.

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
