Every once in a while, it’s important to reflect on your career’s trajectory.
Some questions to ask yourself can be
- Are you happy as a Salesforce consultant?
- Are you happy with the current state of Salesforce and where they are heading?
- What upcoming technologies are interesting to explore?
Before Salesforce, I worked with Siebel CRM. At the time, I never imagined Siebel would be surpassed. Of course, in retrospect, that was a naive thought, as technology never stops moving forward.
I can imagine that at one point, a Salesforce 2.0 will arise. Perhaps an existing technology is posed to take over one day. Perhaps it’s AI. Perhaps the technology hasn’t been invented yet.
Whichever the case, it’s a good idea to reflect on all this every 6 months. As tech grows, you don’t want to be left in the dark.
The takeaway
As a Salesforce consultant, it’s easy to get lost in the ecosystem without thinking about the bigger picture. Be sure to keep aware of surrounding tech so you don’t ever get left behind.
