Hi folks, It's been 22 days since I joined birlasoft. But still I have not been mapped to any project and in induction I have been told this hiring is done based on an already existing requirement. Is it common to not get mapped after these many days of joining? Please share your experience!!! Birlasoft
Will I receive variable pay for the period I am bench?
Can someone help me out with my 401k contributions.
26 years old, make 187k base. For the past 3 years, I have maxed my 401k and was contributing 10% to traditional and 10% to Roth. I have about 125k in my 401k account, am down about 20% but I don’t really care/know it will correct it’s self. Im in no target funds all index/mutual funds.
How should I reallocate my percentages to traditional and Roth? Should I ONLY do Roth and not traditional? Does my company match on Roth or only traditional

What types of engagements have you had?
Thoughts on the GAM role?
Where do you work? That’s also high, your 8-10 certs mean less than you think with 2 YOE
If I’m being honest 8-10 certs with only 2 YOE is a red flag for me.
Yes, the reason I say red flag is Salesforce has an institutional problem with rampant cheating and answer dumps, so for someone to walk in with that many, it makes me question it.
It also doesn’t allow you time to apply all of those concepts within that timeframe, so it really doesn’t give me a clear picture of what you actually know and or are good at.
Yea. Value of certs have diminished. It helps but a whole bunch of certs with only a few years of experience shows you’re good at studying and taking exams. But not a real measure of your consulting, solutioning, configuration skills.
Thank you I 100% agree with your first statement but than you for your second response. Based on the market I was thinking the same but I wanted to be realistic.
Consulting is about experiences and battle scars it is not about certifications. Play the long game, get the experience to make yourself valuable.

Do you have any other experience besides 1.year consulting and certs? What about a degree? What region do you live?
If one of those certs is CPQ, you spent your year doing CPQ project work, and you're applying for a CPQ-related job, then maybe...it's nuts out there. But there are few other scenarios where I'd see someone get that much money in their 2nd year and job in Salesforce consulting.

I would say so. It's like anything where the learning curve is high (or higher than other alternatives) - the barrier to entry is higher, and it's hard to convince anyone to let you do something different, even if you want to, because the skill is so valuable. SAP consulting seems very similar, those people make big money because it takes a long time to learn, and implementations can last seemingly forever. But you rarely see SAP consultants get involved with anything else.
What do you make now? Looking to internal transfer.
To increase value beyond $120k you will need to show some key stories
Implementation project
Experience cloud project
Orgs larger than 100 active users
Integration troubleshooting
Scrum/agile team dynamics and sprint work
DevOps understanding and practice. Insight from experience is different than book knowledge here.
Dataloader or other data migration and mapping.
These are broad strokes but what I think it means when we say the certs mean little if you have not encountered challenges from the above list
