Calling All Developers: Have Your Say in Our First Development Survey

What does it mean to be a developer in the Salesforce ecosystem today? We’d like to know, which is why we’re asking the developers in our community to share their thoughts as part of our first dedicated survey. 

Developer, architect, admineloper, senior, junior, veteran, newbie, script wizard, code whisperer… whatever your ecosystem identity, if you’re developing in the realm of Salesforce, we’d love to hear from you.

“As the ecosystem continues to grow, transparency is of the utmost importance, and that’s why we are launching a series of surveys to understand Salesforce roles in greater detail!”

Ben McCarthy, Founder of Salesforce Ben

How Do You Take Part? 

Simply click the link below to get started. Our survey comprises the following six sections and should take 10-15 minutes to complete: 

• About You: A little about your background and work environment. 
• Knowledge and Skills: A quick look at your relationship with the platform and your career development.  
• AI: We couldn’t not ask about AI now, could we?
• Tools: What are you using (or not using) these days?
• DevOps: Walk us through your routine, preferences, and pain points. 
• Resources: What’s your go-to source of knowledge?

What’s in It for You?

Knowledge is power, and we would like to hand this power back to you in the form of – you guessed it – knowledge! 

The survey is due to close on Monday, March 18. We’ll then get started on analyzing all that lovely data, before sharing key insights with you in the coming months. 

Thank You

As a thank you for taking part, we’re offering everyone who completes the survey a 50% discount on a Salesforce Ben exam pack of their choice. We’ve got a great selection, with more on the way – check out our library here. 

We’ll also be offering participants the chance to enter our survey prize draw. After the survey closes, 15 winners will be selected at random to receive a $100 Amazon gift card. Winners will be contacted W/C March 25. 

“I’d encourage all Salesforce Developers to take part in the survey – not just because we have some great practice exam packs – but because this survey will enable us to share with you independent and honest insights into Salesforce, the ecosystem, and the skills you need to advance your career.”

Christine Marshall, Courses Director at Salesforce Ben

Thanks for your interest in our developer survey. We invite you to spread the word far and wide – the more data we receive, the more meaningful the insights we can share with our community. 

Questions have been crafted in collaboration with a small group of trusted developers from the Salesforce Ben community. As well as skills and background, we want to know about your experience developing on the Salesforce platform – we aim to be respectful, inclusive, and representative. 

Please note, whilst the survey is anonymous and all personal information will remain confidential, we do require contact details for anyone wishing to be included in the prize draw and/or exam pack discount offer.
