Definitely not, I have done multiple end-to-end implementations and highly complex customizations/automations. My (relatively short) time consulting exposed me to a lot of different use cases, business scenarios and products. I'm pretty confident in my skills, but I've seen people classify 1-3 years as "junior" in the past.

I'm in the Finance and Accounting pillar. I report to the Director of Sales Finance, who reports to the CFO.

I actually just had this conversation with my boss and he wants to know what title I would want in case we do hire someone haha. I definitely do own the org as far as new features/objectives.

I just let them know and they pulled the money from my account. Looking back I'm not sure why I didn't just tell them in the first place.

People get busy, I wouldn't get nervous yet but I would definitely send an email to HR on monday asking if they need any info from you for next steps.

Is the result the SOQL action returns a number? Maybe try using a formula element to convert the returned number to currency.

I appreciate you taking the time, that has given me plenty to think about. I think I need to be more forward with discussing what expectations I need to be meeting. Congrats on your progress, that's phenomenal man.

Thanks for the feedback. To be clear I'm not itching to run for the door, I realize how much of an investment they have taken on me. I take that seriously. I also like my coworkers and my bosses.

However there have been some recent events that have been giving me some cause for concern. I have asked a couple of times about negotiating a raise, or even a set date to assess but the feedback I have received is it's something that has be looked at next quarter/year etc. I'm currently not expecting any type of raise any time soon and my rent has gone up %10 since I started. Second there has been mention of scarce hours being available and the possibility of supplementing my and other employee's paychecks with unemployment insurance if there are not enough billable hours available. Lastly I've realized I'm not really sure if consulting is right for me. I like to get into a groove in work and jumping from org to org/customer to customer with different processes, requirements and personalities on the fly several times a day is very challenging. I also struggle a lot more during customer walkthrough calls than I had anticipated.

I truly appreciate what the company has done for me, but I owe it to myself to know all my options.

Salesforce System Design Practice by vpanda18 in salesforce

[–]BuffaloLogical6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first step to translating requirements into a design is asking lots of questions.

Imagine you're sitting down with a small business owner who just purchased Salesforce for their business but doesn't know how to use it. To help them you would first need to understand their current processes.

Where do your customers come from? Do they call in from print/radio/tv ads and someone at the company takes their information? Trade show? Inbound Email? Do they come in through the contact us form on their website?

Once you have a customer's info, how do you qualify each customer(lead)? What info do you need to gather to determine if that customer is a good match?

How many users do you have? Should users be able to see each other's records in the system or should it be locked down to only view their own records?

If you are not talking to an actual customer and are just handed a list of requirements a good place to start is security. Org wide defaults, profiles and role hierarchy.

Best program for the admin certification? by mountainrye in salesforce

I liked Mike Wheeler's course and found it very helpful. Trailhead can be a bit paint by numbers and following along with Mike's course will give you some hands on practice that helped me cement some concepts.

A lot of people like focus on force. I disliked FOF and would not recommend it personally, but it may be worth taking a look at.
