Hi there! Recently I ve started working on a project that we require to build a CRM to improve the customer experience. The Salesforce team told us that every Salesforce instance needs a Salesforce admin. My manager asked me if I want to get Salesforce certified and become the Salesforce admin for our instance. The question is: is it worth it? In the future i see myself as a Technical Program Manager, will this certificate help me somehow long term?

Yes it’s an incredibly good industry to be in. Salesforce is used by a large (and growing) number of companies and you get exposure to the tech stack for most go-to-market teams, which will always be popular

Salesforce has a very good platform architecture and you can a learn a lot

I have just started my journey in Salesforce and I have started working on Salesforce Vlocity. Order management to be specific. I wanted to know what are the opportunities and what kind of job market is there in Salesforce/Vlocity.

Also is it good for learning to start off with Vlocity/Order Management right off cause it is a bit confusing for me.

Some guidance would be useful

I got offer on

May I know how WLB in this company, I see in glassdoor and ambitions contains positive and negative. Is it worth to join? Is it useful for me to enhance my career for long run? How about the retention pay? If we leave the company we need to pay entire retention pay?I have other wipro and CTS, which company is better to join?

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?

Hey Fishes,

What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
