Consulting can be an unkind career choice. 🙁
Demanding.
Exhausting.
Relentless.
Even though it can be so incredibly rewarding when your project goes live successfully. 💖
I chose this path because it pushed me beyond what I thought my limits were.
When I thought I’d done my best, someone would show me that there was another level I didn’t know existed. That’s how I kept on earning my belts. 🥋
There were so many gruelling moments, alongside some amazing experiences doing great work as part of a high functioning team.
This is where we’d be able to anticipate each others needs and finish each others sentences. 🥰
Have you ever worked in an environment like this?
It’s as if you are a melody within a beautiful symphony, and play with pitch perfect harmony with others. 🎵🎼🎶
It’s beautiful.
This is what it means to be world class.
Consulting is similar.
Clients pay consulting rate for expertise and top notch advice.
And so, I demand a lot from myself and from my team.
My “good enough” is up here, and yours should be too.
Some organisations are so much more inclusive where they accept people with a range capabilities.
They are likely to have a support programme to create space for their team to grow and thrive.
Many #Salesforce Partners are not really like this, so having a strong sense of self awareness will help you make the right decision for you.
I’ve always maintained that the consulting world is an fantastic career choice for me. It compressed the good and the bad into a shorter time frame leading to accelerated learning.
If this is something that appeals to you, then you should consider exploring the partner ecosystem.
Despite everything, it really can be an amazing place to be.
What say you, Salesforce consultants?
Do you agree or disagree?
