Is BA cert useless? I felt it’s a lot easier to prepare than app builder, but afraid it doesn’t add substantial values.

Definitely not useless. It’s worth it for the business acumen/ analysis side. It’s just not technically focused. It’s apples and oranges to the app builder.

Sure thing

App Builder holds more value. BA cert is easy and doesn’t require that much studying tbh.

Imo the BA cert is more so for new comers into SF. Good for learning the fundamental skills of how to consult per se, but otherwise it’s just there to pad your cert count like the certified associate

It's a good way to brand yourself as an "add on" cert, but it's not nearly as useful as a technical/specialist cert

BA cert is kind of just a sparkle on your resume. Doesn't mean much. IMO still important to take to show you know diagrams (I guess) if you are under 3 years of SF experience.

Anyone here with experience as a Product Manager? I’ve close to decade of consumer lending experience including Sales/Advisory, Supervisor and Underwriting.

I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
