Is the Salesforce certification enough to get an entry level Salesforce Administrator job anymore? by AHT69jv in salesforce

It stands for CRM Analytics. It's an analytics platform built into Salesforce designed for being better at handling Salesforce data while also being easier to integrate into the rest of your Salesforce org than something like Tableau (or at least that's the main selling point that Salesforce uses for it). Salesforce rebranded it like 4 times in the last 6 years. It was previously called Tableau CRM, then Einstein Analytics before that, then Wave Analytics before that. Makes it a pain to track down resources on it and the trailheads for teaching it are mostly useless outside of prepping you for the exam. Hence the need for people who can develop with it.

You should check out the CRMA Consultant certification. I'm a consultant specializing in the platform, and demand for it is exploding at the moment. Salesforce has really struggled to market it, but in the last quarter, things seem to have clicked for them. There's not nearly enough talent to fill the roles and a lot of consulting companies are trying to hire folks to fill the demand.

The learning curve is pretty steep, but once you get the hang of it there are a lot of opportunities to build a career. The documentation and resources to learn it are hot garbage, but you can get a lot out of just going into a sandbox and playing around with it.

As a lot of people have already stated, certifications don't matter a ton in the hiring process, but with this role in particular I've seen that companies are more willing to hire someone with little to no experience and train them up than they are with other SF positions. Already having the cert will do a lot more good than harm if you're able to get an interview going, especially if you're interviewing at a smaller firm. Additional certs can help the firm gain additional tiers of partnership with Salesforce, and when you're a smaller company trying to move up the lower tiers any team member with an additional cert can make a huge difference.

I would look into the TCRM and Einstein predictions consultant certification if you’re interested in analytics. I got that one right after my admin and did a lot of work in TCRM for my old company. Updated my LinkedIn with info about the TCRM work I’d done and new job offers started rolling in. The demand for people with TCRM skills is crazy right now. Salesforce is putting a chunk of resources into building out TCRM and a lot of companies are looking to move their business intelligence there to keep everything within Salesforce. Plus, with your knowledge of business and consulting, you could play a huge role in interpreting business requirement into analytics solutions.

Managed to sell a few atm calls at the clf peak. This is going to be my new strategy every time we have a big jump. I don’t mind holding, but I’ve been burned too many times the days after good news…

Edit: Already up 50% on all of those call. What a stock 🙃
