How did I become a Salesforce Developer from a Science Graduate in 8 Months?

In my early years, I had always dreamed about a career in the technology sector. However, certain circumstances prevented me from fulfilling my dream. I wouldn’t say I was persistent, but I managed to overcome several obstacles.

Now, I am working as a Junior Salesforce Developer in a tech company, with many more aspirations ahead.

Let me Introduce Myself!

How I learned Salesforce & My Journey to become a Salesforce Developer!

Originally, I didn’t have the guts to pursue my career in the IT sector. So, I completed my graduation in a science background at an early age. However, when we were all locked at home during Covid-19, I found myself with a bit more free time and looked for something more productive to do. My brother-in-law, who was a Team Lead at Tata Consultancy Services, introduced me to the IT sector. During that time, I learned SQL and Advanced Excel for 3 months. But in my mind, I felt that something was lacking in this career path. In a hurry, I received an offer from a Food Tech company. Again, I moved to that domain and have been working there for 9 months.

Finally (a great move), I decided to transition to the IT sector with no confusion. My cousin Eswara Naidu , who was working as a Solution Architect in the Salesforce Ecosystem, helped and guided me to learn Salesforce. Then, I joined Apexchamps and spent 6 months learning Salesforce.

During the learning process, I faced many issues such as a lack of persistence and motivation. Nevertheless, I tried to overcome all those things, and presently, here I am.

After traveling through Exaltlink’s journey, I have changed a lot, developing both professional and personal strengths. As I am a quick learner with high grasping power (no exaggeration), learning is little bit easier for me, and I’ve learned how to become more persistent in learning as well.

How much effort did I put into finding a job, and how did the job hunt go?

While Learning & After completing the Course, My Hobby is to be Active on LinkedIn, Connect to the people & exploring Job Opportunities. I have made connections to Tech. Employers, Employees & Aspirants.

Thanks to Everyone(Family, Friends & LinkedIn Buddies) who supported me in this Journey. Finally, Thankyou Apexchamps for believing & supporting me in all ways.

What is my Job like?

As I am a Junior Salesforce Developer, My job revolves around Supporting Development, Customization & Configuration. The majority of my includes the creation of Objects, Fields, Validations, Flows, Apex Classes, Triggers, LWC, Visualforce Pages etc., Recently, I started working towards enhancing my LWC skills.

What is My Goal(Never Ending) in this Professional Journey?

Currently, My aim is to become a Salesforce Developer in any Top MNC in the Tech. Industry. Lifetime Achievement is to reach top echelon in Salesforce Ecosystem.

End Note: I was inactive on LinkedIn for a month as I was taking time to adapt to new things.

So from Now, I am planning to write articles on LinkedIn for Salesforce Tales[A Newsletter] & I will share my learning stories.

I kindly ask for your support and encouragement, as you did before [please do follow and subscribe].
