Hey Fellow Trailblazers,

I'm asking for advice on certs based on my org, experience and certification. I'm curious about these certifications Solutions Architect, MuleSoft Developer 1, PD2, and JavaScript Developer 1. I already have my PD1 and Platform App Builder Certs. I got them around a year into developing. I'm a little over 2 years of experience now. I'm ok with architecting or developing I currently do both.

Consideration/parameters for my next cert
