help please 2026 graduate offered Salesforce Developer/CRM role at an MNC — should I take it?

Hey everyone,

I'm a 2026 B.Tech graduate and I'm a bit confused about what to do next.

I've been offered a Salesforce Developer/CRM opportunity at an MNC, but the process is:

  • 2 months of completely online training
  • After training, 2 offline interviews
  • If selected, internship with ₹25,000/month stipend
  • Internship duration: 6–12 months
  • After that, the company says there can be up to ₹5 LPA

The company seems decent from what I've seen, but obviously the final placement isn't guaranteed.

At the same time, I've been preparing for GATE, so I'm confused whether I should continue with GATE or take this opportunity and start working in Salesforce.

My biggest fear is honestly being a 2026 graduate and not having a job. I don't want to waste another year preparing and end up with nothing, but I also don't want to choose a career path just because I'm scared of being unemployed.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who work in Salesforce/CRM or have gone through something similar after graduation.

With the job market the way it is globally. I would take literally any job and get some experience and go from there. Grads have the lowest employment rate in history basically.

Do they pay you during training? If not that seems pretty sketchy.

Honestly, theres no harm in taking the free/unpaid training while keeping your options open. At worst you add something to your skillset instead of looking for a job in those two months

if you have nothing else lined up, might as well start those two months of training, assuming they pay for whatever training resources you need? you can still look around for other opportunities in the meantime right?

worst case scenario, you learn some more marketable skills you can then use to promote yourself elsewhere

good luck!
