Just get the salesforce certs and apply, it would be easy for you.

And yeah, it should be that easy. Salesforce demand is absurd right now

1. Register to Trailhead for free
2. Start blazing the trails
3. Target Admin and App builder cert in 3-6 months

I was accidentally asked to program manage a Salesforce project 5 years back because there was none else available. I had no Salesforce exp but started loving it just looking at all the awesome declarative work one can do w/o coding. Started taking it more seriously, got hooked to trailhead. Planned for certs. Long story short I’m a Solution Architect at Salesforce now

My Salesforce colleague found it funny. Thank you for providing me an opportunity to amuse you

That easy huh? I’ve asked myself the same thing.

I’m sure I could easily google and will do so soon- but what do certs for salesforce typically cost to get?

That’s not too bad at all

Yep! Get your Salesforce Admin cert, connect with people on linked and ask someone to refer you.

SAP CRM, BAPI, and BODS have a lot of similar concepts that translate well. With a little self-study you will pick up Salesforce quickly.

I received an offer for a Salesforce Functional Business Analyst at Accenture for 128k annually with a 15k signing bonus. I'm hesitant due to the lower title, as I want to move back into PM work, and feel as if I'm taking a step down. Also, concerned with the WLB at Accenture.
