Having a career goal in mind is a common thing in the Salesforce ecosystem, with an abundance of career content available. Whether it’s achieving the highly respected Certified Technical Architect Certification or becoming a freelancer or contractor, it’s essential to plan your career years in advance.
To achieve your career objective, you need to carefully plan your career path and look for opportunities in the right places. Joining the appropriate company in the right role is crucial to gaining the necessary experience for your career goal.
For example, to earn the CTA certification or work as a freelance consultant, it’s crucial to work for a Salesforce consultancy that deals with complex implementations. Similarly, for a solution engineer role in Salesforce, you’ll ideally require some commercial Salesforce experience, which an end-user company may not offer.
