What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I'll speak about Salesforce first. I'm biased, but I think our community is unparalleled; it's called Trailblazers.
Every event I go to, I meet so many people who genuinely love their product and want to meet others and help other people succeed. We have three release cycles a year.
Continuous learning is really important; it really keeps things interesting. Things are always changing, and no two days are alike, so I really appreciate that. I miss school sometimes because I really love learning; I'm a lifelong learner.
Technology is a great place if that's you. In technology in general, it's always changing; you can't stay stagnant even if you want to. It's always going to have a new challenge, so every day is interesting.
