I’m working on the same.

I’m also studying for PD1, what challenges are you running into?

Took the test once and wasn’t too far off from passing but I keep getting tripped up on the questions.

Was so hard for me too! Passed on my 3rd try (not a dev)

Same. I am now paranoid about being fired if I dont pass

You got this

I took it in 2020 and, at the time, I only had about two years of experience in Salesforce although I’ve been a developer (.NET/Java/JavaScript) for a while. The exam is not that difficult but there are a number of trick questions (you have to watch out for keywords in the question) and a few others where you’re asked very specific stuff that you would normally not remember but, IRL, could find out in a couple of seconds through a quick Google search. All in all, I recommend going through the Focus on Force course. It does help.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Focusing is not an issue for me once I’m locked in, but I’m struggling to get there because I haven’t finalized which idea to focus on. Open to any recommendations please (books, personal stories, etc).
