I am a software engineer with around 5 years of experience in Java, JavaScript, Node.js and SQL. I have been trying to get into Salesforce since few years now without luck. Every job that I have applied requires experience specifically in SF. Appreciate any suggestion on how I can make the switch or other advice?

You need to find a job that gets you the SF experience if you want to get in. Check out the trailblazer content. But you may also just have to join a company and move into a role where you can pick it up

Thank you for the response that’s what I have been trying to do but it’s like that never ending cycle of “I need experience for a job but I also need job for the experience.”

Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!
