I knew about Salesforce in 2010. A company I work at for a short period was using it and it was not very good back then. I wish I had decided to get into it back then but I didn’t start learning administration until 2022.

Too many people coming into the industry because they see all the "Get a Salesforce Career, earn big $" youtube videos. They missed the gold rush coming out of the pandemic and everyone is trying to FOMO in. Ultimately, the demand is way down and I think with the number of positions available going down, employers are going to start bringing the salaries down. Essentially, the "You should be lucky to even have a job in this industry" approach. Why hire you for 150k when I can hire someone for less because they have been out of a job for 4 months and are willing to work for pennies on the dollar? Just my two cents.

it was foolish for people to push 'learning' strictly Salesforce (admin BA ... even developer) roles ... you are much better off if you study fundamental disciples (data analyst, business analyst, web development, app development) AND THEN piggy back those skills with Salesforce (very easy to learn after you have learned one of the fundamental disciplines) so in effect you multiply the available job positions and industries you could fit

[ShadowWarrior]

Thanks for not sugar coating. It is definitely saturated and I think the future looks bleak. Best to get out of the Salesforce ecosystem while you can

My experience is very different, I get a lot of offers still (SF Consultant/ Sales)
Don't get frustrated guys

[jayymathew]

Lot of companies need subject matter experts with actual experience. But they can’t afford to pay consultants or Salesforce and thus need to hire folks with experience.

[angiev]

It's definitely saturated for admins. There is more demand for developers. It's important to have additional skills.

Currently at least in Spain, developers are admins too so the admin position is a nosense in spaniard job market. Idk if this is happening in more places.

[FrogWise]

specialist skills are still in demand but it's definitely a lot less than a year or 2 ago. With my CPQ skills it's pretty solid but I can imagine a standard admin or dev will have it much harder. 2024 will look worse, many big companies are downsizing and consolidating or hiring in-house. My recommendation would be, go for the perm job and sing out the storm. In a few years the market will attract again. Lastly, diversify, like get some amazon or azure certs and put some effort into learning to leverage AI. That's hot with companies right now

[millertime]

I do think it's saturated unfortunately. Even the last few teams I've been on have been bloated and I could tell people would be pushed out or laid off.

[BoomerBlogging]

The "Facts" matter very little to those recently laid off in the Tech Industry - including the SF crew. The SF marketplace is "saturated" and may well be for the foreseeable future. However, if "tech" be your passion - then - pursue it! If SF is where you want to be - and you believe in it - then - learn the platform even better and simply try to become more knowledgeable than other SF job seekers/competitors. Unemployment can be a time to "learn" NOT 'lament".

Immediate earger for Salesforce administrator

My preparation already done.. I am waiting for interview.


But no luck not getting any calls right now

[elifkaraman]

There are a lot of fake resumes, I mean many new bootcamp graduated people add 3-4 years of experience even though they do not have any in the field. This is not fair. Honest people who writes the truth does not have any change to be accepted. How hiring team could not understand that people are lying and and they do not have experience. if they understand, how they trust to those are lying

[Andreasplace]

I hate how I always find something good too

[SalesforceHelpClub]

Well done, I think this is an accurate take on the state of the Salesforce job market.

How to reset textfield value on picklist none value selection?


I have a picklist & a textfield on page layout. My requirement is when the user changes value to "none" then textfield must be auto blank .

Like
i selected "x" value from drop-down. Type a text in the textfield. Now again I changed picklist value "x" to "none" then textfield should be auto blank .Same as depend picklist

User doesn't want to click on the save button. He needs auto clear same as drop-down on change set text box value in jQuery .

[donkanmcklaus]

[naveensfdc]

When can we expect good calls for admins?

[MysteriesofYore]

Damn im glad my admin salesforce job got handed to me basically through "help desking" a law firm. I do get paid 50k a year tho so not rlly reaping the benefits, i will look for a path to either developer or AI applications. Should i ask for a raise? lol
