Is it worth it to try to become a Salesforce Consultant?
I was wondering if it is even worth it to try to do part time consulting. Would it be better if I try to leverage a niche like examining/fixing flows or Field Service? Or is it even worth putting in the time to do this?
I am an “accidental admin”, without any certifications, who has been in the role for 4+ years for a small business after we transitioned to Salesforce at the beginning of 2022. It feels like my day to day is fixing/replacing flows, apex classes, and already outdated processes from the initial implementation that the company did before realizing they needed a full time admin. The company we implemented with had to close their doors about a year after setting everything up, so it’s been “fun” to learn from trail by error without support. Because of that, I feel like I have a good grasp of the SF space due to this and want to see if I can make some money on the side, if that is still possible anymore.
