10k is a Salesforce agency in the US. Over the last few years, they also publish annual reports about the state of the Salesforce ecosystem.

In short, this year’s report doesn’t look great. They call it a “post-COVID hangover.”

Here are some notable takeaways:

  • Salesforce’s growth has slowed
  • Global demand for Salesforce talent has dropped 37%
  • Demand for Consultants declined by 43%, the largest decrease in demand across all roles
  • Technical Architects and Solution Architects were both close behind at 41%
  • There is a 19% increase in the global supply of Salesforce talent

So demand has gone down while supply increased. This means more competition for new opportunities than ever before.

The takeaway
If you’re having challenges to find Salesforce opportunities, you’re not alone. It’s tough out there.

Do your best to distinguish yourself from others with your unique value-added proposition, and consider specialization.
