The Salesforce job market has had its fair share of twists and turns over the last year, and to put it plainly, things aren't looking that great. With news of layoffs, talks of saturation, and droves of people struggling to land a job, it's evident that the job market has changed.
If this sounds all doom and gloom though, don't panic. The age of cushy Salesforce jobs is indeed over, but there's still a prosperous future ahead. In this video, Ben talks honestly about the state of the Salesforce ecosystem and job market, so that you know where you stand and can prepare accordingly.

This video is spot on! I relocated from the UK to the USA in July 2022 as a certified Admin years of experience. I arrived with a wonderful job and started work in July 2022. By September in 2022 the entire Salesforce project was cancelled without notice, so the whole team was let go. In the year since I have applied for hundreds of Salesforce roles in the US and heard literally nothing from the majority of them. I started noticing the same jobs getting posted on LinkedIn and Glassdoor over and over and over again. Specialization is the right answer, the way to stand out now.

I also think there is something people should understand. The platform is becoming so complex that it’s not possible to know everything about it. On top of that, Vlocity, AI, new functional features, new technical features come regularly and it’s impossible to stay up to date on every track. So I would encourage people to become experts on something they have chosen to bring good ideas and best practices for implementation. Everyone knows about Layout and Record Type. But not everyone knows about revenue cloud implementation and how to implement it properly. Guess who will be hired in priority? Simple admin or specialist? Salesforce Ben is right: choose something you like and perform in it!!

Interesting points and something as a solo admin for a NonProfit, I have had a few conversations around this. I started my career in late 2015 and what I know now, vs what I knew then is night and day. I will say that the generalist vs specialist debate is interesting. I know for me, I have to wear a number of SF hats, Admin, consultant, architect, flownatic and so on. In the nonprofit space, it's not so much a generalist as it's a need to have multiple skills to meet the needs of our org.

@roguesailing8052 4 месяца назад
My latest 3 mentees are all prepping for 201 currently, my advice has been to go salescloud then cpq route if possible, all are qualified accountants so pairing this with a sf specialisation should help I assume, do you know of any sf specialisations where coming from accountancy may be worth exploring further? Also as admins having all the other simple bases covered that I think is day to day sf admin knowledge like doing BA work, knowing agile, knowing basic scrum master duties, can also make you stand out especially if your competitors have been solely focusing on just sf.

Integrations is where it's at I think. It's astounding what convenient data you can transform and what intense computational tasks you can offload using something like azure. Once businesses on salesforce start realizing more and how cheap it is too, it's gonna blow up (if it hasn't already). That's where I'm focusing now to get my promotion/next salesforce position. Edit: Also want to say that skills developed while learning and working in salesforce translate perfectly to so many places, don't paint yourself in boxes, we got this!

We are in a global recession at the moment and its been coming since after Covid. I was contracting for 4yrs with back to back jobs and always multiple offers each time I did change roles, then all of a sudden nothing, I ended giving up with contracting because the market was dry for 6 months (just picking up tiny projects through my network). And the contract market is still dead Now that's reaching its way into the perm market through a tightening of the market there. It's been going on for years and years now! I'm in the experienced category, but personally, I am starting to work on my exit plan. For both market related and personal reasons.

It really needs to be transferable outside of Salesforce 🤔

I’ve been an implementation consultant since 2006! For the first time ever I feel like the jobs are getting sparse. Outsourcing is the biggest culprit. I used the think my job would be safe because I’m essentially working at an architect level but I’ve recently seen more of these jobs getting outsourced. I also think the increasing complexity of the platform is making it harder for mid-size companies to get any benefits from it. You basically have to get a developer to do any project in Salesforce. With most of those jobs outsourced to incompetent developers(who charge pennies on the dollar), it makes the onshore users extremely frustrated and burn out quicker. The writing is on the wall. Even if you continue to specialize, the job will eventually be replaced with someone/something cheaper. Hopefully I’m wrong but that’s not what I’m seeing.
