I was a Salesforce dev/architect with 6 YOE and 13 Certs including app architect. I transitioned to broader open stack architecture and development which I find much more fun/challenging and fulfilling. But the time has come for cert renewals and I am having a hard time deciding if I should keep up with the certs or just let them expire. Any thoughts?

I’d recommend keeping those.

I took a marketing cloud cert long back and I still maintain it even if I don’t work in Salesforce.

It takes very low effort and zero dollars to retain the certs.

To what tech stack exactly have you transitioned? I started having kind of the same idea in the last months. Maybe not exactly transitioning, but rather to learn extra stacks that may be useful.

Thanks I moved to a fintech role so it’s AWS full suite for architecture then Java and node.js for the backends, python for data analysis, angular for the front end and mongo and MySQL for databases. And understanding microservice architecture was a big part of this too

The cert renewals aren't nearly as hard as they used to be. Keep them.
