What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
At my workplace, there are only three of us who work on Salesforce and technology. This presents a really cool opportunity for me, as I get to be involved in everything we do across Salesforce and Pardot.
I can identify a problem on Monday, discuss it with my coworkers, start mapping it out on Tuesday, get approval on Wednesday, begin building on Thursday, and then start testing. Depending on the complexity, we might even release it the following week.
It's cool to be that agile. At larger companies, there would be many more steps and approvals involved. So, it's a great opportunity to have my hands in everything, and I'm learning every day.
