Hey David, thanks for the great content! I have a question: I have about 2.5 years of experience managing CRMs (not Salesforce) for small nonprofits including things like imports, managing users, database design, dashboards, queries, reports, etc. I know you’ve mentioned admin roles are in lower supply now, so given my experience, do you think it would be feasible for me to get an admin role if I get some certifications done in the next months? Totally happy to continue learning on the job to move towards developer/consultant/BA roles, but wanted to check in on this first step.
