looked at the exam reports, identifying the failed sections, then go to trailhead to find related modules to study.

I’d recommend learning how to write code actually. I have 11 certs and PD1 was one of the easiest one for me.

I would go deeper than trailheads and actually read developerforce

I’m planning on taking platform dev 1 for the first time soon! What resources have you used so far?

Focus on force exams, trailhead, apex academy

Have you completed the coding assignments on trailhead that go with PD1 (without googling for the answer)?

I failed the first time but then used focus on force practice exams and udemy course by Walid horr. It helped me learn the basic and I passed the second time after an intense 2.5 weeks of studying.

The FoF practice exams are great because they give you links to the SFDC developer guide for each question by section so you can focus on areas that you struggling and really try to understand the material.

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.) I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role? Any good startups to consider? Anyone have any insight or advice?

I’ve been in the industry for 23+ years, 16+ of those spent as a Producing Branch Manager. I hold S7, S63, S66, S24 and I’ve completed the education for the CFP (need to pass the exam). I excel in relationship building and providing exceptional service. I’ve only been on the full-service side for the past 2 years and my book of managed money is about $10M, with another $10M+ being self-directed by clients. I’d love to find an RIA job, what type of role would be suggested?
