For professionals looking to enter the Salesforce ecosystem or advance their careers, the job market has been anything but favorable over the last three years. With challenges like heavy saturation, the erosion of entry-level positions, and companies scaling back or restructuring, for many, finding a Salesforce job across all roles has been tremendously difficult. Suppose you have ever wanted to work for the CRM giant itself. In that case, your chances may now be even slimmer, as Salesforce has revealed that 50% of jobs within the company during Q1 were hired internally – signalling a shift in hiring strategies. Among all this, it’s also important to consider how the rise of AI and the subsequent shift of priorities in AI’s direction have also affected the market. Salesforce itself has marched full steam ahead with its AI efforts and AI hiring, with positions such as Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Research Scientist, and Technical AI Architect currently available. However, these are positions directly from the CRM giant itself and represent only a tiny fraction of the market.
