Kỳ vọng và hy sinh

Developers are often called upon to extend the platform and continue to evolve it in new ways. Meanwhile, external clients rely on Salesforce Developers to get integrations right. Mistakes, oversights, or poor planning can be costly and time-consuming. Workers in this field bear a lot of responsibility and must be comfortable diving into the unknown of a client’s needs to come up with effective, creative technical solutions. Many customers may want to keep their existing sites while still incorporating Salesforce data-capturing capabilities. There’s no end to the challenges and opportunities!

Unlike traditional fields that feature data on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, Salesforce Developer jobs aren’t as easy to find consistent data on. Salesforce has been described as a “huge universe,” with the company being cited as one of the best employers in the country. Workers focus on innovation over maintenance, constantly adapting as new tools are released. Salesforce is so large it has its own “economy,” which is predicted to generate 3.3 million jobs and $859 billion in revenue by 2022. The company uses Trailhead to help skill up workers for the future.

They may have been interested in programming, building websites, or honing their user experience/user interface (UX/UI) design skills. 
 
They’re analytical problem-solvers, who may have enjoyed math and science topics, as well as pastimes such as chess and puzzles. That said, there’s an artistic element to this type of work, too. Many Salesforce Developers would probably be interested in graphic arts or multimedia growing up. This is a collaborative field, so employees need to be confident and comfortable working with others towards a shared end goal. Thus, they may have been involved in clubs, committees, or other team-related school and extracurricular activities.
