Are you trying to pivot from Salesforce? Otherwise, I agree that getting a job at Salesforce will probably be your best bet

Maybe try to put more of a focus on the role you played on those teams rather than the technology (ie workstream lead, PM). That way you can demonstrate your experience without tying you down to Salesforce.

If you’re not in a rush to leave though, then I would try to get at least 1 non-Salesforce project under your wing before you dip.

This is the most basic question, so yep, I’m asking you to take it easy on me when you reply. I have been practicing for about 5 years total. I have been in civil practice for 2 years. These 2 years have been the most demoralizing, unfulfilling 2 years of my life. I have been giving myself pep talks to find the “positive” spin on it but firm life isn’t for me. I know networking is key but do you have some thoughts/suggestions on how to make an exit...crying at therapy is becoming too much.
