Salesforce folks - interested in developing my skillset in that space and targeting project/program management (tech and non tech) opportunities. I don’t have any salesforce experience but willing to learn and complete any trainings and certs. Have tons of PM experience (have PMP, CSM, ACP certs too) but not sure how to make that pivot. Any insights? Open to junior roles to make up for my lack to experience as well. Thanks.

Hey there, I've dealt with project managers with salesforce knowledge across the spectrum. I'll say the ones with 10 certs weren't necessarily leagues ahead of those with 2.

Get your admin cert and the cert for the specific cloud you want to work in, and you'll be good on the knowledge you need as a PM. If you have been a PM for tech projects or digital transformation projects in the past everything should be very transferable.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

If you want more from your career, but you can’t stop thinking about how stuck you are, you won’t get more from your career.

Thoughts —> Beliefs —> Actions —> Change

1. Think: what would “a better career” look like? Write it down.

2. Believe you deserve it. Believe it’s yours before you have it.

3. Take action:

- Suggest improvements at work
- Look for new job opportunities

4. The change in you already occurred and the next change will be in your career.
