Or I should say, many bets are off.

I think some priorities have shifted some around a persons work/education history when it comes to hiring Salesforce professionals compared to where the industry was 10+ years ago.

Stigmas like:

Moving from contractor to full time

Moving from consultant to industry

Moving from industry to consultant

Having short hops in your career

No college, some college, or many degrees

Prior industry knowledge

Some time in between positions

Some certs (maybe no certs) to being XX times certified

This doesn’t go for all employers, but with the sizable number of open positions, I think these are easier to look past for many.
