I’ve been in ERP consulting for the last 8 years. I’ve worked with Salesforce a bit and integrated for clients. I passed the admin exam last year and am looking to do more with Salesforce as I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m a manager with my team now so I mainly scope and propose on ERP projects with the occasional consulting for billable hours. I’m curious if anyone else has a background like mine and how you got deeper into Salesforce? Should I get another cert? Appreciate any advice!

I know someone who went through similar path. They had to volunteer for couple of non-profit salesforce projects to build a great interview story.
