I am a solid triangle (16), diamond (5) and circle (2). I see myself more as an administrator. Anything with the most extrovert interaction along with some silent problem solving.
Are all certifications created equal?
This is where I stop and have no idea what direction to go.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Seems pretty clear where my interests lie. But I wonder how much of this was me knowing what I know (now) vs. what else is out there. I’m currently a SF admin and am enjoying it. Am I assuming that to be a TA you need to know just a little bit of programming, but not as in depth as a developer?

I got admin what I am now and in future, I definitely want to be a consultant as I am excellent at giving ideas & suggestions.
Currently, I am working as a Salesforce admin/ developer both as my company is using a service cloud for their ticketing and I am here to automate the system as per requirements. also, I must say I can understand the code but when it’s about implementing I always need suggestions. so sometimes I frightened would I code or not.

So, can you help me, David?
How should I go on the path of consultant?

So I’m very familiar with CRM and how it applies in marketing, sales and service. Have been anticipating a major change to leave pure SW development and focus more on application architecture, I am very impressed with Salesforce and thinking my path could be: Admin –> Dev –> Architect

Hello David,

I am a Salesforce Admin and currently promoted as Team Lead, I have around 6+ years of experience as an admin. Recently I have shifted to another city within the same company though where I am on bench(No Project, No work).

Something clicked me to learn coding and landed on your tutorials and guess what they are driving me to learn development.

I am doing pretty well but my colleagues say its of no use to learn development at this stage of career and it wont help.

I need your valuable inputs on this. Let me tell you I am also looking for change and admin openings are really nill.

    Don’t feel bad, I’d probably fail that one too if I took it now.

    My tips:
    1. Read every word in this guide:
    https://www.sfdc99.com/ultimate-salesforce-certifications-guide/

    2. Don’t give up. You’ll always have this chip on your shoulder if you don’t go for it

    3. Reward yourself when you pass!

      I would suggest doing the practice exams on focusonforce.com – they were very helpful when i took my certifications.

6 -> red, 7 -> blue, 2 -> black. I just got started so I guess admin is a good starting point. Thanks for the post!

Admin 13 Architect 1 Developer 1
Interesting results since I’m more full-on business, but would rather swap pie charts with a bit of code here and there. #AdminWhoCodes FTW!

I’m glad to see that most people are leaning more towards pure development, does that mean that business crowd gets less competition?

I don’t care about smaller paycheck as long as I do what I like. Thanks for the test, it really helped a lot with clearing that “start with Salesforce mess”

    Stay on course, it’s close enough that if you enjoy what you do there’s reason to do anything else. Especially if the other thing pays less!

I had answers from all categories, but very strongly blue. The best meeting is no meeting, just let me code.

I like the last slide:

Technical Architect, Technical Architect, Retirement… hahaha

Currently a salesforce admin but learning apex to become a salesforce developer. One day technical architect.

Result: Architect
Not surprised at all since what I enjoy the most is designing the solution, not implementing it.

The problem is that those roles imply a high amount of hours, a thing i’m not too happy with since I like to have a lot of personal time(atm working 30h/week).
Any suggestion on how this could affect my path and how to take the most of it?

Kind Regards.

    Technical architects are in such high demand nowadays that you can get by with 30 hours / week, especially if you get the CTA cert!

Thanks for sharing David,

I got a mixed bag of goodies, guess due to the fact that some question were about my dream role(resulted in black points) and some questions were pointed to what I do or enjoy at the moment resulted in RED and Blue.

Black(7+) , RED(4+), Blue(4+).

So I guess I want to be Architect even though I am a Developer/Admin material. :)

Again Thanks for sharing.
