Yah, believe me, i know, but that’s not learning just relational databases. You’ll waste time learning record limits and object names and whatever other garbage goes with Salesforce. Put that energy into cloud relational databases or nosql lightweight databases instead.

Don’t become an expert in a tool. Today it is Salesforce, and tomorrow you could become obsolete. If you want to be an expert at something, pick a database. The concepts underpinning it rarely change.

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
