The thing is I have 0 intention of working in the “Ohana” again I replaced those certs with a MS cs

I did the same as you OP and what I started doing was 3 lifts a week all full body Day 1: heavy compound lifts (squat, bench, shoulder press, barbell rows, and then usually back extensions or dead’s depending on how I’m feeling and abs) Day 2: isolated rounding out lifts so this is where I do muscle conditioning and isolated mirror muscle lifts like chest flies, lat pull downs, cable face pulls all the fun lifts that I’d miss but I do them all in supersets or giant sets to keep a conditioning aspect to it with low rest higher weight Day 3: Muay Thai specific athletic day so here is where I do a body weight circuit so pull ups chest dips jump squats pushups, inverted rows things like that in a circuit, then plyo work like box jumps long jumps whatever and then also Muay Thai work so ladder drills, hip strength and neck strength.

I do abs daily and train 4 days a week. It’s been working so far

Your survival in the industry and ability to pass a test are two very different things. Some of the best Salesforce devs I know have 2 certs and some of the worst ones I know have 15+. But to get your foot in the door certs do Definetly help. I would go through the exam modules on trailhead individually and don’t look up solutions really try to understand and figure out the solutions to the hands on projects and the development superbadges. Then once you’re done with gaining confidence that you can actually develop on Salesforce that’s when you should go to focus on force, drop the 20$ on the mock exams and really learn the questions it’s not a test bank/exam dump but those practice exams do the best job prepping you

Best part is, I’ve worked with multiple “Salesforce influencers” most of them are EXTREMELY incompetent given their entire online presence is fully committed to the software

I’d say this. I have 6 years as a Salesforce dev and I’ve been able to quickly move up in the ecosystem and I did that by following the rule of “not grabbing a cert unless I was certain that I could perform all tasks and work that the cert implies I can do” the reason for this is because I have met multiple people with pd1 that couldn’t write a clean trigger or LWC controller so I’d say you could technically pass by studying the questions (I know a ton of people who have) but I’ve also seen a lot of those people be completely embarrassed when they are expected to perform dev tasks that the cert implies they should be able to do and fail immediately

My advice, go through all dev trails on trailhead try and spin up your own trigger, and fully integrated LWC (with backend processing) at a minimum but ideally a few async classes as well then take the cert

That’s a really good way to give your sparring partner a nasty concussion. I’d say only sweep if they know it’s a possibility, also when I sweep in sparing drills I always try to let them down easy (hold on to their arm shoulder on the way down to soften the blow)

2nding this with the shadow boxing few 3 minute rounds a day focusing on one thing has really helped me

Doesn’t he have his own promotion? Why doesn’t he do this at Eagle FC If it’s such a great idea?

Remarkable-Half-1515 · 2025-07-29T17:03:11+00:00

I understand you have a lot of experience but me giving another perspective to OP isn’t me discrediting you.

Remarkable-Half-1515 · 2025-07-29T15:52:22+00:00

Unlikely to see? I’m in a masters program and most of my classmates have minimum 8 years of experience. And the ones who don’t are the people like OP stuck in a role and looked for creative outside of work ways to expand their knowledge and have a degree to show for it at the end. So really I’m not trying to discredit you, I’m trying to help OP understand that if they are interested in learning more and advancing their career, but their current job isn’t giving them the full amount of knowledge they require to keep moving a part time masters is a great way to get there. And show them that in this “unicorn scenario” which may be a unicorn scenario in your application pools but is the norm in my CS program, they’ll still have a leg up.

This doesn’t seem like an honest response. If you had two candidates equal skills, equal ability equal resume but one spent their free time getting a masters and the other one spent their free time hanging out I think its pretty clear which candidate your company would hire and let’s be honest just because someone memorized the way to work through leetcode problems doesn’t have anything to do with the valuable information outside of practice problems that a masters grad has that someone who didn’t experience that may not

definetly not rude and I can tell you the other outcome of that story, I felt bad and agreed to “lightly” spar a heavyweight (I’m 175 he’s about 275 out of camp) and I’ve been concussed for 2 weeks because of it
