What are your thoughts on the discourse around oversaturation of talent? Are there too many people who were sold the admin path that are hopelessly stuck in trying to stand out?

It depends. Admin path is the entry door. There are still areas /products in salesforce ecosystem where it’s hard to get people. For example, CPQ, FSC, MC, CDP etc

Yes and no. Companies being completely unwilling to take on entry level folks and train them up is a huge part of the problem too.

I think it's a combination of things, including the current state of the market. There are just so many people vying for so few jobs that the stats are naturally going to lean toward oversaturation. But yes, I do think it's maxed out at the moment.

I think there is some truth to it. There's a lot of people who have been sold the admin path and there aren't as many jobs available at the higher levels. I don't think that this means that people who are stuck in the admin path are hopeless tho.
