How easy is it for a Salesforce developer with 5+ years of experience to learn Vlocity? Approximately, how long would it take before I'm a little comfortable?

This is the first time I'm switching my stack since I've been a SF developer since graduation. Hence the question so that I'm better prepared.

Is there any reason why you are switching over to vlocity ?

PWC1 - No good answer to this. Wanted to leave my prior organization and got an offer from Salesforce. Vlocity is new to me so thought I'd learn something new.

There is a lot of training content - Vlocity has has their own training academy for years. If you are a SF dev with 5 YOE you will pick it up pretty quickly. The most difficult thing for me was similar to the Salesforce platform itself- understanding the specific nuances of what things are or are not available.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I am currently working as a BA 3 on market expansion and I want to pivot to financial services. I’d love to do strategy, internal consulting, or BA. Downside is that I don’t have a business degree, I studied healthcare admin. Is that a big deal, especially considering my experience?

Would love any advice on how to break into a new industry!
