What is the expectation for Strategy & Ops roles at Salesforce? I’m a functional consultant that works on Salesforce Sales/CPQ implementations at big 4 - would I fit into the Strategy & OPs role?

If this helps, like 90% of people from B4 salesforce consulting end up pursuing the following roles:
- Sales - Solution Engineering
- CSG advisory (solution, technical architects)
- CSG implementation
- CSG Customer Success roles - TAM, etc

Not directly, because strategy & ops is about Salesforce The Business, not Salesforce The Product/Platform. You wouldn't be qualified for Microsoft strategy & ops just because you are really good at Excel or consult on GitHub, for example.

Not saying you aren't qualified, but CPQ implementations aren't what would make you qualified. *Management* consulting experience (particularly w/MBB firms), an MBA, etc. would be more in-line.
