Keeping it πŸ’― w/BIT 2.0

Aug 13, 7:30 – 9:00β€―PM (UTC)

Salesforce Black in Tech Group (BIT)

The SF job market has changed β€” and most of the advice out there hasn't caught up. Join us for Keeping it πŸ’― w/BIT 2.0, a no-filter panel with Salesforce professionals navigating this economy in real time. We're talking rising skill demands, multi-cloud expectations, standing out in a crowded field, and building real leverage in your career. Honest conversation, practical strategy, zero fluff.

About this event

Let's be honest β€” the Salesforce ecosystem isn't what it was three years ago.

Job postings that used to ask for an Admin cert now want Admin plus Data Cloud, plus Agentforce, plus five years of integration experience β€” for a mid-level salary. Hiring managers are ghosting. Contracts are shorter. And everybody's LinkedIn feed looks like they're thriving while you're wondering if you missed a memo.

Nobody's talking about it out loud. So we will.

Keeping it πŸ’― with BIT 2.0 brings together a panel of Salesforce professionals who are living this market right now β€” not theorizing about it β€” for a candid conversation about how to survive, navigate, and actually prosper in today's ecosystem. No recruiter-speak. No motivational fluff. Just working professionals telling you what's really happening and what's really working.

We're getting into:

  • What employers are actually screening for now that "Salesforce experience" isn't a differentiator anymore

  • Which clouds and skills are worth your study hours β€” and which ones are hype

  • How to position experience you already have so it reads as the expertise the market is asking for

  • Staying visible and staying sane when the search takes longer than you planned

  • Building leverage through community, consulting, and paths that don't run through a single job req

Whether you're job hunting, quietly watching the door, or building something of your own β€” you'll leave with strategy you can use, and the reassurance that you're not the only one navigating this.

Pull up. Bring your questions. We're keeping it πŸ’―.
