Is there any risk of the Salesforce talent ecosystem becoming a market of lemons with how many people are moving into it but have no exposure to technology outside of trailhead?

I was looking at the talent sticker program that seems to be like one of those web developer diploma mills when I had the thought.

Not complaining i just thought it might be an interesting challenge.

It’s already happening. Most of the solutions from gurus on LinkedIn who were advocates,veterans or bartender in their previous lives does not work for large enterprise applications. Their entire knowledge is based on what they learnt on trailhead

I find it interesting how most of the veterans just talk about how to get into Salesforce instead of what they have actually done, what they like about the platform, etc. Programs like talent stacker basically just say you can make 80k/year with no experience but don't focus on what you actually do.

Maybe I just haven't seen enough of the material?

This was one of my biggest fears when I was learning SF while in university. I felt people overvalued the “I got to Ranger and I’m in tech now” especially amongst the LinkedIn cringe type preachers. One of my biggest criticisms to how SF is marketed is that there is never any messaging about “getting out of SF” or emphasizing the transferrable tech/hard skills.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
