For what it’s worth, I got a lead level interview with 0 SF certs.
I have used the platform in my day to day before, however, so I do have that experience.

TA1– yes if you’re going for an architect role but from OPs message it sounds like they’re looking to get the attention of sales leaders….who candidly aren’t looking for an in depth technical overview (even top quality AEs like the ones SF has).

If you’re going for a role within a specific vertical— focusing on the product(s) and solutions associated with that sector it would be a good start.

Trailhead for sure.

I’m going for an SE role.
Would you mind providing any advice on which Trailhead modules/areas would be best to go through before the interview?

I would suggest getting a referral and then wowing them in the panel interview

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I'm entering my final year of law school but am going part time since I work full time as a paralegal. I have been a paralegal for more 10+ years and I want to open my own firm after I pass the bar.

Has anyone done this right out of law school? Any advice?

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
