I have total of 3 YOE with 1 year in SF implementation. I’m looking to get SF admin certification soon. I wanted to gage what kind of exit opportunities I would get with this? Coworker suggested to get SF community cloud consultant certification as well.

What role have you been in for your implementations (dev, BA, etc)?

I’m thinking of staying another year or so before jumping. I feel severely underpaid at Deloitte so trying to milk as much certification as possible

Solution Architect is one of your exit options

What would the role entail?

Hahaha NOT solution architect. You need 3 more certs and 3 more years of hands on SF.

What salary are you targeting?

If goal is 120, you'll need 2 certs and maybe something specialized (commerce cloud perhaps)

solution engineer - the three recommended certs are admin, advanced admin, and platform app builder

Would this lead to more technical role or more functional role?
