You might be someone who is getting started with your career
Or, someone who has spend 4/5 years
Or someone who has no working experience with IT and want to get started.
You heard of Salesforce being a very good career option.
Someone told you to become a Salesforce Admin, others told become a Salesforce Developer and someone else might have recommended to be come a Business Analyst.
Everyone one has their own recommendations based on what their experience with Salesforce is.
But hey, its you who has to make the call.
Here is a small table to help you decide
| Role | Expectation |
| Salesforce Administrator | ✅ This is where anyone will start ✅ First step to learning Salesforce is to get to know the features which can be Administrated – hence the name ✅ You are not expected to code at this stage ✅ You SHOULD be able to logically solve problem |
| Salesforce Business Analyst | ✅ You should be able to converse with business users ✅ Get the expectations documented in a way the Admin/Developer can understand ✅ Should be able to take up some activities of an admin ✅ Demo features to users, get feedback, run the show |
| Salesforce Developer | ✅ All that Admin does Plus ✅ Able to code in an language called Apex which is similar to Java to some extent ✅ Should be able to code in Lightning Web Components – which is similar either Angular/React to some extent ✅ Able to built complex features |
If you are good at communication (verbal and written) then try Business Analyst
Its evolving as a promising space recently
If you’re a good developer (of other language) you can be a developer on Salesforce
Admin is the best always!!!
Rest assured, with right investment of time, energy and guidance, you can be anyone.
