In India, the boundaries that differentiates an Admin and Developer seem to diminish at certain times. In the US, that is not the case. Trailhead provides good knowledge on the differences between different roles and you should really check that out. However, when it comes to India, as I said boundaries diminishes. What do I mean by that? Let me explain.
I am a Salesforce Developer in India and often I have found myself doing the work of Admin and Developer both. You may get the reasons, to lower the cost, companies look for people who can do maximum stuff. In US, the specialization of Admin is trusted however in India, companies require a well-rounded professional who can do everything!
I am not saying Salesforce Admin job is not required in India. Don't get me wrong. IT IS REQUIRED. What I am trying to say is that there is a Developer who can do your work. Should you consider this? Why not. Majority of Salesforce projects comes from US and Europe and they prefer Developer.
What message I am trying to give?
It is good to know Admin knowledge. Better to start learning to code and do tasks a Developer can do. You will be empowered to a greater extend.
Listen, Salesforce is growing rapidly in India and you will be able to find jobs in Salesforce. I want you to think how the market is progressing and learn a bit of Developer with Admin.
If you are a Developer, chance are you already know some Admin, right? If an Admin knows development, they will become a rockstar!! Like a one man army. All the best on your Salesforce journey:)
