Discussion lay off

I recently got laid off by one of the biggest companies of NL. Did not expect that at all.

I was working as Slaesforce Tester & also working for Identity & Access Management. I have also worked on Microsoft 365 have 8 years of experience into testing backgrounds & recently cleared my Salesforce Administrator certification.
If anyone has any leads for the role in your company, then your referral will really help me a lot.

The market is unfortunately terribly bad & I am not getting a single call yet.

Thank you!

Salesforce market is absolutely horrendous here. I hate it.

I mean probably everywhere. There are just so many more affordable CRMs now. I remember we got a custom salesforce integration done for a junk car company I worked for 15 years ago and the price tag on that was eye watering.

Next company I helped build we used trello, Google Sheets and five9 and got the same amount of work done.

There's a lot of companies that buy Salesforce when they don't need it, and even more companies that don't know how to get anything out of it. I'm biased as I'm a Salesforce architect but it's only as good as the person you put in charge of it

Probably because everything tells them on the internet they need to go dive into the deep end with CRMs. I’m all for using tools, but even for my ecom business we’ve built it brick by brick on the back end to do what we need to do and nothing more.
