Thank you for your service
Hi Fishes, I've accepted offer from Accenture from their portal.. But now got new offer from EY and wants to join at EY. So how can I tell Accenture Accenture India that I'm not going to join them. Rather than not showing up on the date of joining? Can you please guide me? How do I let them know? My talent coach is not reachable

Question for all the Salesforce employees out there: which should I apply for? A Solutions Engineer position or a Salesforce professional services role focused on delivery? Looking to make the move but would want to know more about how the two compare in regards to total comp, WLB, career progression, exit opportunities, etc.

I had experience programming before picking up apex, but still, trailhead. It sounds dumb but there really are good practice problems. Also, if you do get stuck, don’t look up the exact solution, break the issue down and fix it one step at a time to help learn how to handle issues
Mentor
Check out Warren Walters on LinkedIn. He has a fantastic course for aspiring Salesforce developers, but he posts a lot of great content for free, as well.
Sfdc99.com this is where I started and it was an amazing course
No prior experience in APEX or programming at all? I taught myself on the job. It’s similar to most other programming languages. Google is your friend
Don't learn to code in Salesforce. Learn to code full stack apps outside of Salesforce. Then transfer that in. Trust me... I've worked with too many accidental admins turned "devs"... always have to untangle their mess
I disagree with this 1000%
I started in Salesforce dev and now I am a full stack dev and in all honesty I’m glad I started coding in Salesforce. It’s a lot simpler for a beginner to learn apex scripting, databases through soql and simple front end within the LWC framework assuming they already understand Salesforce since the walls of Salesforce are a very good boundary to gain understanding. For full stack apps though the amount of knowledge you need to be good is extremely overwhelming if you’re starting from 0. I think noobs will be noobs and make mistakes since that’s what learning is but it’s way easier to limit and fix those mistakes within The walls of Salesforce as opposed to a full stack app where your mess can be anywhere from the OS you’re using to host your solution all the way up to a JavaScript syntax error.
