A 2021 study from IDC found that the Salesforce ecosystem will create 9.3 million new jobs and USD$1.6 trillion in new business revenues worldwide by 2026. IDC forecasts that cloud-related technologies will account for over a third (37%) of digital transformation IT spending by 2026.
In addition to this explosive growth, careers in the ecosystem offer competitive salaries. On average, jobs with Salesforce skills pay around USD$80,000 per year.

While you’re exploring Salesforce roles, Trailhead learning paths, and stories from real Trailblazers in your career of interest, you’re also blazing your unique journey to success. Of course, this journey and definition look different for every Trailblazer, so take the time to figure out what it means to you.
A great way to start exploring what success means for you is by motivating yourself to go further with Trailblazer Ranks. Unlock new ranks by challenging yourself to earn more points and badges while building in-demand skills along the way.
You can kick off your rank journey with Road to Ranger.
