I got hired in an Admin role at just 21 years old. All i had was superbadges and lots of Trailhead hours. Thank you for the motivation David, it’s been life changing.

I’m watching this video in 2022 and learning salesforce now. I actually heard of this before I was even a college graduate in the early 2000s as an end-user. It has definitely grown since then. I want to start as admin and eventually learn to code.
Hey David, could you do an updated video for 2022? I’m at a big transition in my life and want to leave a dead end construction job and jump into tech and really want to be a sales force admin. However, I’m afraid the market might be too saturated right now.
As a mid-career Salesforce professional, this was a relief! Agree on the coding - all of the job posts I see are looking for developers beyond admin level.
Why was it bumpy? I'm a software engineer for a healthcare company. If this is easier then your normal OOP standards which is evolving yearly...I'm intrigued on the challenges you're dealing with. Can you share?. Thanks in advance!
Hey David Starting my Salesforce journey in my mid thirties. I stumbled upon this channel and think it’s totally awesome and honest... great stuff.. keep doing the good work👍👍
Hi Kanika, same here. 9 years into IT majorly in Software Testing. Trying to change to Salesforce. What is your learning approach going to be? Was just curious to know as I just started my research and am convinced that this could be worthwhile delving deep into.
I totally agree with this, if you are just starting your salesforce career, need to exert more effort in learning and transitioning to it. Salesforce is no longer the NEXT BIG THING, it already is now. #pjazurin #teamtugtugan
I am currently a PHP programmer / Web developer and planning to not actually switch but add Salesforce development skill. This video helped me to decide whether to get certification or not. I hope I can get the exam passed!
So I had my mind all made up to engage in the Salesforce Administrator course primarily based on a TikTok influencer and then you got me. I have been really interested in AI and the world of computers so I've decided to look at learning to code. I have no idea what is instore for me but it's all about the journey. Your insight and honesty really piqued my curiosity. Your comment about 50 and 60-year-olds learning to code were where I made a definitive decision to challenge myself.
Good content! Been doing Salesforce for 10 years as an admin who is not afraid to code. Talked my developer husband into it also. We are a 2 Salesforce-income family and it's not too shabby.
it is so true that you don't need to know super complex logics in salesforce because the salesforce restrictions and limitations itself force you to code good

David, thank you for this motivation I am just 19 and and I am working as Salesforce developer since 1 year. And these video gives me motivation to grow faster in these industry.
looking to pivot in my career at this point! currently use salesforce as CRM for our firm. Going to start looking at salesforce roles! really helpful video
I’ve just started to develop salesforce at my company and they are teaching EVERYONE that is available there. So, competition grows everyday is a fact. On the other hand, I came from a technology which was on fase 3 when I started coding on it. Salesforce is a way of getting up to date with recent technology. Thanks god.
6 MVP’s! Your the LeBron James of Salesforce. I came across your channel today. I’ll make sure to watch all your videos so I don’t ask a question you’ve already answered. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Thank you
Hello there. I am a former Software Engineer that had to become a trucker for some reasons. I never heard before about Salesforce. Only 3 months ago a friend of mine, from university, told me about it. Now I am fighting to get my Admin Certification. See what happens. Thanks for your inspirational videos. Thanks.
As one of those new entrants to salesforce, I was nervous about what you were going to be saying, David! I just finished homework number Four today in your second Apex Academy course.
Good stuff David! I have a lot of free time on my hand and decided to take on this journey, my background is in Digital Marketing so figured this will allow me to have additional income hoping to land some remote gigs!
Thanks for guiding David, I strted learning sf admin but as you mentioned, I was not sure whether I will be able to code, thanks for your information about developing is not that difficult!! Keep making such videos and motivate us as always!!
My dad has worked for Salesforce partners for years. He's managing architects now and has supported my family well. I'm 25, majored in Nutrition, went into the healthcare industry, but after a few years in it, I'm not sure if I want to work in patient care forever. I've always had a knack for Excel and would be interested in learning to code as well. Currently working on the admin cert on my days off. It seems like such a leap though since it is hard to get a job without experience. Anyways, this video was very helpful! Thank you.
Ahh David. Can't thank you enough as even I have recently done my masters in Marketing and cannot find a job that is into marketing. All I got was Sales Dev, Biz dev roles. Want to try my hands on salesforce. Supercharged to turn around my career into this.
Expand horizontally as well. There are heaps of salesforce developers in India.. No judgement I mean I have many talented colleagues in India, platform II with annual income of 30k. Think about how else you can add value, add on training/ project management... but I must say doing my first exam 5 years ago, more credentials n add ons enable me to maintain a new job at 6 deg after being retrenched at this climate.
Great stuff David! I might suggest to all who may read learn Salesforce and all about SaaS platforms in general and pursue selling. Trading your life for time will never get anyone rich. Selling is residual. Companies keeping signing year after year and the checks keep coming in. That’s the life I’m talking about😉
Pretty good video! Thanks for sharing. I still do think that we need that to see what's coming on the other side of the "Virus times" and 2020 may become a different year altogether but got your point...
Best Salesforce related channel on UA-cam. Are online salesforce certification courses worth paying money for? Or should I try learn solo? If you are in Silicon Valley you should start you’re own program!
Thanks!!! I personally got 18 certs with no courses but I know many people use courses successfully. The less experience you have the more worth it the courses are. I have a Salesforce coding program myself at bit.ly/go-apex !
Hi David, I am 47 yrs and have been working in the field of QA and Automation QA. Please suggest if I can still make a good career out of SF or should I choose one some of the cloud technologies or ETL tools? Please help. Thanks
I have been learning SF since 2018 and at this point, I am not sure what to think. In 2018, I was so excited, but now 2 + years later, I often wonder is it worth it. I have had my admin since Feb of 2019 and I still have not made any salary or money off of SF. Coding may be a better route now.
Thank you !! Thank you !! Thank you!! You were the answer to my prayer. Im jumping into the Salesforce world and wasnt sure what path to pick: Admin or developer. Im a software Engineer over 50yo very behind in technology because for the last 15y I chose my kids over my career. Was wondering if developer path would be too much at this point on my life, you know Web stuff, OO, Java script, etc.. You answered that question , Im going for the developer path, yeah !! Thanks again. Liliana Rogers
Cool David.. i made my dad learn salesforce for past 3 months , since i started WFH.. he is 40 years experience in IT , worked. in oracle n other old tools like cobal. he loves salesforce.. and completed 60 trailhead badges in 2 months..
Thanks for the video david, I received my first SF admin job last week for 74k in Utah! I still haven't decided which SF path I should choose. There are quite a few; admin,consultant,developer, solution architect etc. Could you make a video on pros and cons of each SF role?
Thanks for all the informative vids! Ended up watching all ur vids of u giving opinions on Salesforce as I’ve recently started an internship role as a Salesforce dev I’m just worried that SF dev skills arent really transferable outside of SF/CRM and if it’s too late to get in now since it’s a phase 2 tech. As a graduating student would it be worth it to start deepening my knowledge in SF now? Or should I keep my options open by learning other tech stacks?
Thanks! Yes the younger you are the less I'd recommend Salesforce honestly. It depends on whether you want to take on longer term bets or commit to something that'll for sure be strong in the short term
Get a good grasp of your OOP fundamentals its implementation depending on flavor(C#, C++, C,...). What you learn in school ONLY scratches the surface. Stay busy learning new technologies and improving on the ones you understand. Good luck to you!
I totally agree with you. I got to know about Salesforce back in 2014 during my Masters degree and I completed DEV & ADM certifications at that time. I got an internship on the basis of those certifications only but never got to work on actual SFDC project. I ended up getting full time job as Data Engineer and never worked on any Salesforce project in past 6 yrs. I kept learning on Trailhead and still get fascinated with Salesforce. But I feel like the technology and platform has evolved so much in past 6 yrs that it looks really tough to get into SFDC development. At the same time, I feel I can still get into SFDC BA or Consultant roles as I am into Consulting now. What are your thoughts on this, David?
David, to my mind, the big challenge is also to compete with overseas talent. Can you also do a video on people eyeing the same position in US from overseas vs local?
Don't choose Salesforce i know it's trending now but after some year's it wouldn't worth .Learn AI ,In coming years AI will come and 60 - 70% people would lose there jobs
David, your video was highly informational, thank you so much. I literally woke up today as a state case worker and just felt like “I can’t keep doing this for the rest of my life” and literally just remembered someone telling me about Salesforce before and started looking it up. What job would you recommend as a transition for the time being as I learn Salesforce? I do have sales experience but would prefer something else if possible. I went back to school and got a BA in Bus. Admin and can’t buy a job right now, thank you again for your advice ❤️
In this day and age, I feel that the biggest skill one needs to have is to use Google properly. Solutions to all the problems are available on Google. Please learn to Google
Thank you for the insights! Very interesting! I'm currently on the last module of Salesforce's Vetforce Business Analyst path. I don't have a job working with Salesforce yet. Times are kinda weird right now with the whole virus thing and I recently started a $15/hr. warehouse job just to somehow generate some income. Problem is, this warehouse job is leaving me with no time or energy to continue making progress with Salesforce's Business Analyst path. I'm considering taking a couple days off here and there solely for Salesforce training, or possibly even quitting the warehouse job entirely and completely diving in head first into Salesforce and staying in as long as possible. I'm not shy about learning code at all and I look forward to it. It's nice to hear learning code might place me in the phase 1 growth section. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm subscribed and will watch your other videos. Thanks again!
This was great content! Thanks for your insights, obviously you are a very credible source, so thanks David! Also, is there a particular module, CPQ, Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud or Sales Cloud that might be the highest in demand for the next few years or so?
@@dvdkliu Hi David, What about cpq? I am from oracle e-business suite background and have 3 years of SFDC functional knowledge, so wanted to learn cpq and switch. Please advice on its future
Before getting in to the salesforce field you must know that it is best in crm world,not fod the general full stack development world. One can argue that we can this and that but what will be the scope of that app. So if you are such a developer who wants to explore the tech frameworks,coding then don't invest your time here. Although it's very productive platform but in its own domain. If ypu are ready to deep dive in crm world then go on..learn it. It is best.
Him: You know what's not boring about Salesforce? Me: Dreamforce!!!!!!! Hahaha But he is on point on so many things. It's been 7 years for me and got recruited by a company to learn Salesforce right after graduation. Students don't get to expose to it unless recruiters talk. Even then some recruiters don't know much about the software.
Hi, for students what tool do you advise to learn in the 1sr phase of growth ? For someone who doesn't learn science or maths but in business school? Thank you
I'm totally a new bee. I barely know how to code. I remember coding in c+ for the first time in my life in the 1st year of college and I wanted that semester to be over as soon as possible. It was out of my headspace.. But the next semester introduced us to c++ and I almost not flunked. Good riddance, I comforted myself. That was not a good experience w coding at all. Now I hear you saying coding is essential to have better chances of getting the job. Also that it's (coding) less complicated when it comes to the role of SF Developer. SO I guess that gives me a lil pump (no pun) to start learning to code again. Initially, I'm thinking of learning the admin roles and eventually start to code for the developer position so that I am skilled in both. Please tell me if that will work.. Or if I should straight up jump for learning to be an SF Developer as you have a better idea about it. Also any other tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to get my life right with a job lmao. Thanks in advance.
Does salesforce curve is more flaten than entertainment apps like insta, fb etc...? We have excel for a long time with us now. And Salesforce is an upgrading platform as well. What do you think??
Thank you so much for this video. As someone who ended up in the Salesforce ecosystem by sheer luck last year, I have many people reaching out to me. I'm going to start sending all of them to this video, so that I don't have to do all the talking :D Loved your analysis on the growth phase and where Salesforce is on the curve.Helps people put things in perspective before they dive in. Supply vs Demand. Neat way to make use of your Econ degree :)
Your thoughts on MS Dynamics? Lots of people are talking about Dynamics overtaking SF's core business in a few years. Dynamics can't beat SF head on but the MS Cloud and the range of their products are very enticing for organizations. MS products integrate very well with the biggest tech platforms meanwhile SF hasn't done a good job integrating some of their biggest acquisitions (Tableau, Mulesoft, etc.).
Hi David Great video as always! For the students graduating in 2020 do you think that time has already passed for them to enter Salesforce ecosystem as Salesforce is entertaining phase 2 and should be looking for some phase 1 technologies rather than Salesforce ? And what do you think about Salesforce development as a career for students graduating in 2020 which you said is still in phase 1 ?
Excellent Video. I've just obtained my ADM201 6 weeks after first discovering Salesforce, I think the UK Market is a little different than the US. Not sure what impact the current economic climate is having but I'm struggling to land even conversations with recruiters.
@@dvdkliu Thanks David, I'm planning on getting the Platform App this month and then either going to add Sales or Service Cloud or may look at the Developer just so I have more of a whole round offering.
@@dvdkliu Hi David. Learning is not an issue and that is what I am doing now but how to crack a job without realtime experience and esp since it has been there for some time now?. I do have 10 years of IT but every employer will only take the one who has actual experience right no matter how good are you in the subject?
I got hired in an Admin role at just 21 years old. All i had was superbadges and lots of Trailhead hours. Thank you for the motivation David, it’s been life changing.
Did they care about your college degree ?
Chinta koro No, i was currently a jr in college though.

Same but your comment in the video was a little discouraging 😅 I do know how to code though so 🤔
Wow, I'll just do a ton of trailhead stuff lol
I have a Salesforce interview this week! Your videos are up to date, clear and concise, and humerous. Appreciate all your efforts!!
Thank you Brook 😭😭😭😭 Good luck!!!
Good luck!! Go get em!!
Did you get the job?
Did you get the job? I've wanted to work for this company for years!! Best wishes!

Great plan!
Hey David, could you do an updated video for 2022? I’m at a big transition in my life and want to leave a dead end construction job and jump into tech and really want to be a sales force admin. However, I’m afraid the market might be too saturated right now.
As a mid-career Salesforce professional, this was a relief! Agree on the coding - all of the job posts I see are looking for developers beyond admin level.
Dude - Your sense of humor and candor are a pleasure!
Thanks!!!!!
As a newbie in the Salesforce platform, I needed to hear this today!! Thank you for the motivation! Honest and good stuffs...
I started out as a software engineer, and migrated into development in Salesforce. The transition was a lot less bumpy with the coding experience.
Why ? Is it just for the money ?
Why was it bumpy? I'm a software engineer for a healthcare company. If this is easier then your normal OOP standards which is evolving yearly...I'm intrigued on the challenges you're dealing with. Can you share?. Thanks in advance!

Started Salesforce training last week, loving it so far!
Hi did u got job?
As one of those new entrants to salesforce, I was nervous about what you were going to be saying, David! I just finished homework number Four today in your second Apex Academy course.
Good stuff David! I have a lot of free time on my hand and decided to take on this journey, my background is in Digital Marketing so figured this will allow me to have additional income hoping to land some remote gigs!
Thanks a lot David for this content. I finally got this question honestly answered for me. I find this video very helpful.
Tope are you into Salesforce?
Thanks for guiding David, I strted learning sf admin but as you mentioned, I was not sure whether I will be able to code, thanks for your information about developing is not that difficult!! Keep making such videos and motivate us as always!!
My dad has worked for Salesforce partners for years. He's managing architects now and has supported my family well. I'm 25, majored in Nutrition, went into the healthcare industry, but after a few years in it, I'm not sure if I want to work in patient care forever. I've always had a knack for Excel and would be interested in learning to code as well. Currently working on the admin cert on my days off. It seems like such a leap though since it is hard to get a job without experience. Anyways, this video was very helpful! Thank you.
I am a Salesforce developer with 3 and half years experience
So what?
Tell me something about your experience bro..
Iam a fresher
Thank you David for your motivation. Both learning plans are very useful. I'm going to share it in my community
Ahh David. Can't thank you enough as even I have recently done my masters in Marketing and cannot find a job that is into marketing. All I got was Sales Dev, Biz dev roles. Want to try my hands on salesforce. Supercharged to turn around my career into this.
You got this man!
Expand horizontally as well. There are heaps of salesforce developers in India.. No judgement I mean I have many talented colleagues in India, platform II with annual income of 30k. Think about how else you can add value, add on training/ project management... but I must say doing my first exam 5 years ago, more credentials n add ons enable me to maintain a new job at 6 deg after being retrenched at this climate.
Just awesome. All facts and no rubbish. Thanks man.
Cheers!
Great stuff David! I might suggest to all who may read learn Salesforce and all about SaaS platforms in general and pursue selling. Trading your life for time will never get anyone rich. Selling is residual. Companies keeping signing year after year and the checks keep coming in. That’s the life I’m talking about😉
have been using SFDC myself, thanks for that !! still have my exam to be done, and my first job to be found...
working on profile FLS while watching (listening) to this video! your blog has been super helpful!
Pretty good video! Thanks for sharing.
I still do think that we need that to see what's coming on the other side of the "Virus times" and 2020 may become a different year altogether but got your point...
Best Salesforce related channel on UA-cam. Are online salesforce certification courses worth paying money for? Or should I try learn solo? If you are in Silicon Valley you should start you’re own program!
Thanks!!! I personally got 18 certs with no courses but I know many people use courses successfully. The less experience you have the more worth it the courses are. I have a Salesforce coding program myself at bit.ly/go-apex !
I will check it out. Thanks for the advice David!
Hi David, I am 47 yrs and have been working in the field of QA and Automation QA. Please suggest if I can still make a good career out of SF or should I choose one some of the cloud technologies or ETL tools? Please help. Thanks
Good stuff as always. Really appreciate this line of quick yet full of information career-related videos. Very useful.
I have been learning SF since 2018 and at this point, I am not sure what to think. In 2018, I was so excited, but now 2 + years later, I often wonder is it worth it. I have had my admin since Feb of 2019 and I still have not made any salary or money off of SF. Coding may be a better route now.
Good to see you active on youtube David. Thank you
Thanks Dave. U the true inspiration for millions of us out here.
Thank you !! Thank you !! Thank you!! You were the answer to my prayer. Im jumping into the Salesforce world and wasnt sure what path to pick: Admin or developer. Im a software Engineer over 50yo very behind in technology because for the last 15y I chose my kids over my career. Was wondering if developer path would be too much at this point on my life, you know Web stuff, OO, Java script, etc.. You answered that question , Im going for the developer path, yeah !! Thanks again. Liliana Rogers
My pleasure go get it!
And Im doing what you said, go all in; started Trailbrazers 8h ago and so far I have 7 badges, 3000 points. lol.. Im excited about this.
Thanks David for your honest comments about the current market situation.
Bruh you are a Lion, love your hair style much love from India, thanks for the content
You say it like it is!! No nonsense I really love it
Cool David.. i made my dad learn salesforce for past 3 months , since i started WFH.. he is 40 years experience in IT , worked. in oracle n other old tools like cobal. he loves salesforce.. and completed 60 trailhead badges in 2 months..
Did he get a job with the new skills?
Thanks for the video david, I received my first SF admin job last week for 74k in Utah! I still haven't decided which SF path I should choose. There are quite a few; admin,consultant,developer, solution architect etc. Could you make a video on pros and cons of each SF role?
You just made my day so much better!!!
Thx!!
Excellent video, David. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for all the informative vids! Ended up watching all ur vids of u giving opinions on Salesforce as I’ve recently started an internship role as a Salesforce dev
I’m just worried that SF dev skills arent really transferable outside of SF/CRM and if it’s too late to get in now since it’s a phase 2 tech. As a graduating student would it be worth it to start deepening my knowledge in SF now? Or should I keep my options open by learning other tech stacks?
Thanks! Yes the younger you are the less I'd recommend Salesforce honestly. It depends on whether you want to take on longer term bets or commit to something that'll for sure be strong in the short term
Get a good grasp of your OOP fundamentals its implementation depending on flavor(C#, C++, C,...). What you learn in school ONLY scratches the surface. Stay busy learning new technologies and improving on the ones you understand. Good luck to you!
This was a super honest and valuable video. Thanks
I totally agree with you. I got to know about Salesforce back in 2014 during my Masters degree and I completed DEV & ADM certifications at that time. I got an internship on the basis of those certifications only but never got to work on actual SFDC project. I ended up getting full time job as Data Engineer and never worked on any Salesforce project in past 6 yrs.
I kept learning on Trailhead and still get fascinated with Salesforce. But I feel like the technology and platform has evolved so much in past 6 yrs that it looks really tough to get into SFDC development. At the same time, I feel I can still get into SFDC BA or Consultant roles as I am into Consulting now.
What are your thoughts on this, David?
David, to my mind, the big challenge is also to compete with overseas talent. Can you also do a video on people eyeing the same position in US from overseas vs local?
@@dvdkliu David, the man, the myth, the legend !
Great analysis ! Thank you David for what you do !!
With Salesforce just recently acquiring slack just moved salesforce back to phase 1.
Hi David , so much needed this video . Thank you so much :)
I studying last 3months of quarantine!!
2020 CRM I. Was told big company. Are trying to implement IBM
CRM. trying to compete.
Thank you for uploading this video!! It helped me to decide if I should choose Salesforce development
Don't choose Salesforce i know it's trending now but after some year's it wouldn't worth .Learn AI ,In coming years AI will come and 60 - 70% people would lose there jobs
@@vansh8361 so Aws is good right?? Can you please share your Instagram id ?? Please I really wanna discuss.
I found your UA-cam channel today. Please keep making these videos. They are helpful. Thx
Thank u for your honest opinion.
Thank you for these, David!
I really needed this perspective! Thanks David :)
David, your video was highly informational, thank you so much. I literally woke up today as a state case worker and just felt like “I can’t keep doing this for the rest of my life” and literally just remembered someone telling me about Salesforce before and started looking it up. What job would you recommend as a transition for the time being as I learn Salesforce? I do have sales experience but would prefer something else if possible. I went back to school and got a BA in Bus. Admin and can’t buy a job right now, thank you again for your advice ❤️
David K. Liu thank you so much 😊
yes i'm defiantly going to be in thanks to you
👍
In this day and age, I feel that the biggest skill one needs to have is to use Google properly. Solutions to all the problems are available on Google. Please learn to Google
Hi may i ask what part of Google is phase 1 to learn? Are we talking about Google Docs? Thanks
Thanks David! Helpful info as always 👍🏻
Just wondering what phase 1 technologies would you look for if you were just starting out? As always love the videos?
Thanks! Phase 1 is always hard to identify but personally I'd go the AI route
Thanks for giving insight and needed direction.
Thanks. This is a very good and informative video!
Thank you David! You deserve more views for your ability of leveraging people's motivation to learn Salesforces. Very precise and informative video
Thanks lol
Thanks for video. I am a Developer but will recommend my contacts to pay 18000 Rs to you and learn SFDC from links you mentioned in description :D
Thanks for providing the insights!
Thank you for the insights! Very interesting! I'm currently on the last module of Salesforce's Vetforce Business Analyst path. I don't have a job working with Salesforce yet. Times are kinda weird right now with the whole virus thing and I recently started a $15/hr. warehouse job just to somehow generate some income. Problem is, this warehouse job is leaving me with no time or energy to continue making progress with Salesforce's Business Analyst path. I'm considering taking a couple days off here and there solely for Salesforce training, or possibly even quitting the warehouse job entirely and completely diving in head first into Salesforce and staying in as long as possible. I'm not shy about learning code at all and I look forward to it. It's nice to hear learning code might place me in the phase 1 growth section. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm subscribed and will watch your other videos. Thanks again!
Hey where are you from ?
@@TusharSaxena2002 Southern California, and you?
David! Thanks for your honest analysis and your recommendations! This rules!
Thx!!!
This was great content! Thanks for your insights, obviously you are a very credible source, so thanks David!
Also, is there a particular module, CPQ, Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud or Sales Cloud that might be the highest in demand for the next few years or so?
@@dvdkliu Hi David, What about cpq? I am from oracle e-business suite background and have 3 years of SFDC functional knowledge, so wanted to learn cpq and switch. Please advice on its future
Thanks @ David, this video movtivate me to learn Salesforce.
Before getting in to the salesforce field you must know that it is best in crm world,not fod the general full stack development world. One can argue that we can this and that but what will be the scope of that app. So if you are such a developer who wants to explore the tech frameworks,coding then don't invest your time here. Although it's very productive platform but in its own domain. If ypu are ready to deep dive in crm world then go on..learn it. It is best.
Amazing Insights David!!! :)
Him: You know what's not boring about Salesforce? Me: Dreamforce!!!!!!! Hahaha But he is on point on so many things. It's been 7 years for me and got recruited by a company to learn Salesforce right after graduation. Students don't get to expose to it unless recruiters talk. Even then some recruiters don't know much about the software.
Hi, for students what tool do you advise to learn in the 1sr phase of growth ? For someone who doesn't learn science or maths but in business school? Thank you
Thank you for your valuable information, regards from Colombia.
@@dvdkliu thank you very much!
Hi David,
Your guidance has helped me out a lot. Can you please make a video on financialforce?
Super Thanks in advance. :D
Thx don't know anything about it lol sorry
@@dvdkliu but again thanks for all the help!!!
Just getting started but you sir....you are already part of the program and you are the influx. Having trouble....state of the union.
Salesforce needs to think about the quality of Salesforce professional as well otherwise, companies will struggle with hiring..actually they are
Is it extra benefit to learn Cloud computing in additional to sales force
David what about PI&PO course. Is it close relative to sales force
Hi thank you for the video, which other will you advice to learn
I'd def learn AI!
@@dvdkliu thank you so much for your advice 🙏🏽
Just hard to find a job without experience. A lot of people are getting certifications but can't get a job without more experience.
Shout Out to David, the Salesforce Guru !!
I'm totally a new bee. I barely know how to code. I remember coding in c+ for the first time in my life in the 1st year of college and I wanted that semester to be over as soon as possible. It was out of my headspace.. But the next semester introduced us to c++ and I almost not flunked. Good riddance, I comforted myself. That was not a good experience w coding at all. Now I hear you saying coding is essential to have better chances of getting the job. Also that it's (coding) less complicated when it comes to the role of SF Developer. SO I guess that gives me a lil pump (no pun) to start learning to code again.
Initially, I'm thinking of learning the admin roles and eventually start to code for the developer position so that I am skilled in both. Please tell me if that will work.. Or if I should straight up jump for learning to be an SF Developer as you have a better idea about it. Also any other tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to get my life right with a job lmao.
Thanks in advance.
Does salesforce curve is more flaten than entertainment apps like insta, fb etc...? We have excel for a long time with us now. And Salesforce is an upgrading platform as well. What do you think??
Yea for sure. Businesses can't just have interchangeable systems
True motivator !!!
Thank you so much for this video. As someone who ended up in the Salesforce ecosystem by sheer luck last year, I have many people reaching out to me. I'm going to start sending all of them to this video, so that I don't have to do all the talking :D
Loved your analysis on the growth phase and where Salesforce is on the curve.Helps people put things in perspective before they dive in. Supply vs Demand. Neat way to make use of your Econ degree :)
Your thoughts on MS Dynamics? Lots of people are talking about Dynamics overtaking SF's core business in a few years. Dynamics can't beat SF head on but the MS Cloud and the range of their products are very enticing for organizations. MS products integrate very well with the biggest tech platforms meanwhile SF hasn't done a good job integrating some of their biggest acquisitions (Tableau, Mulesoft, etc.).
Hi David
Great video as always! For the students graduating in 2020 do you think that time has already passed for them to enter Salesforce ecosystem as Salesforce is entertaining phase 2 and should be looking for some phase 1 technologies rather than Salesforce ? And what do you think about Salesforce development as a career for students graduating in 2020 which you said is still in phase 1 ?
Excellent Video. I've just obtained my ADM201 6 weeks after first discovering Salesforce, I think the UK Market is a little different than the US. Not sure what impact the current economic climate is having but I'm struggling to land even conversations with recruiters.
@@dvdkliu Thanks David, I'm planning on getting the Platform App this month and then either going to add Sales or Service Cloud or may look at the Developer just so I have more of a whole round offering.
right, i have seen sales force growth tremendously and i kept thinking and thinking since a long time and never actually tried getting into it. :((
@@dvdkliu Hi David. Learning is not an issue and that is what I am doing now but how to crack a job without realtime experience and esp since it has been there for some time now?. I do have 10 years of IT but every employer will only take the one who has actual experience right no matter how good are you in the subject?
Thank you David!
Cheers!
