Hi all! I'm blind. My degree is in computer science and I still code on a hobby/freelance basis. But I ended up in tech sales. I need to get out of sales ASAP. I'm 48% done with "Build Your Admin Career on Salesforce" trail. Plan to complete "Beginner Admin" and "Intermediate Admin" trails after that. My question is Are there additional trails I should complete before sitting for the exam?
Also, my long-term plan is to start out as admin and then transition into Salesforce Developer since I already have pretty extensive programming knowledge. I feel like it should be a prety seamless transition once I master the platform from the admin side of things. If anyone here has notes or advice for planning a career trajectory from admin to developer, I'd also love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance!
My advice for sitting any of the exams is to do as many practice exams as you can. I found Focus on Force very useful for this.
I am also keen to do more development, but as an admin even with a platform developer 1 cert, I seem to be pigeon holed as an Admin, and companies want experience. As you have development experience, you will likely be OK.
Good luck!
