Your description of how you got into Salesforce, trained, and shadowed feels like a fever dream. I was hired to do business data analysis and got roped into the launch of a new Salesforce org. Cut to 8 years later and I am the only admin, dev, and architect of a 250 person org customized in the government cloud for an innovative tech R&D business cycle to support the DoD. Everything I know I had to learn by myself or through Udemy courses I had to pay my own way through. Now that things at my job are driving me to want to leave, I'm finding it difficult to find positions because everyone only wants either an entry level developer or an architect with 10-15 years experience.
I found this video on your Reddit post and am so glad I did. I'm 10 months into the Salesforce ecosystem (system admin) and would love to move into development. I've subscribed to your channel and will check out your earlier videos as soon as I get a chance. Thanks so much for sharing your CTA experience as well as helping others with their journey with Apex.
I think you have a good point in the part that you said a CTA becomes less valuable and probably do not want to approve a candidate, that makes total sense to me! Thanks for sharing your point of view
Thank you for your video. I didn't get as far as you (I dropped out at stage 602), but unfortunately, what you're saying happens there too. I also don't see the opportunity to improve because the publicly available scenarios are not very valuable (too short). Additionally, the feedback you receive from the judge after the exam is generally weak, and I have asked the program director (Suzanne) for more details several times - it's been several months, and there's been no response despite reminding them multiple times. This says a lot about Salesforce itself and how it really is.
I just finished your video. I loved it. Very informative. I’ve been a marketing cloud developer for 6 years now and been trying to get into the platform space. I’ve done so much studying and recently passed the JavaScript, platform 1, and platform 2 certs. But I can’t for the life of me get my first job as a salesforce platform or LWC developer. All of the entry jobs require at least 1 year of experience and all of my certs are ignored since I don’t have working experience. I used to think certs gave the impression that I’m at least trainable, but as you said in the video, no one cares. If that’s the case, how do I provide that year experience that I’m missing to prove that I’m trainable if no one will accept my resume without the experience?

Interesting stuff!
You should do more lives!

Matt, how do you do code documentation (apex, aura and lwc)?
I turned the notifications on and they still didn’t tell me you were live.
What is the CTA salary in general ? What range ?
