Im coming up at 5 yoe in total at big4 Salesforce consulting. Is it a good idea for me to exit into a Sr. Admin role? Is it a good idea this early in my career and is there growth? Or should I wait for more time

It really depends on if you want to grow more as a consultant/functional or if you want to grow in a more hands on manner. If you want to be more hands on there will probably be better growth as a sr admin, but if you want to grow as a functional/consultant I’d stay in consulting

I have the same question but only have about 3 yrs in consulting, with 2 years working as an Admin before my current role. Wondering if it’s time to move on since it’s been slow for anyone to move up.

Wouldn’t admin be a pay cut?

I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries?
