Salesforce Administators:

Would you recommend this profession to others? Why?

What advice would you give to someone new to this career path and how to get your first job with no experience?


Are there any other things you would suggest to learn outside of becoming certified through Trailhead to make your skillset stronger?

It's a rewarding career path, IMO. Other than certification:..Join a local user group, maybe volunteer for a non-profit, freelance, build your portfolio, start small, and build big!

I would highly suggest working as a Salesforce administrator! It's a fascinating field with countless chances for advancement. I would advise newbies to explore real-world situations. Participate in meetups, join online groups, and think about taking on little projects to gain real-world experience and build their portfolios.

Curious what opportunities for advancement you see? I’d always thought it stopped at being a senior admin and then maybe lead admin; unless you switched into the more/product side…

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?
