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 newbie in the Salesforce platform, I needed to hear this today!! Thank you for the motivation! Honest and good stuffs...
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.
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.
Great plan!
Thank you for your time to make this video!
I'm a front-end developer, so i'm going to give it a try, just for the heck of it
Peace!
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!
Good stuff as always. Really appreciate this line of quick yet full of information career-related videos. Very useful.
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!!
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!
Thank you David for your motivation. Both learning plans are very useful. I'm going to share it in my community
working on profile FLS while watching (listening) to this video! your blog has been super helpful!
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.
How did y manage to find a job I’m a certified app builder and administrator for summer break of my freshman high school year can you please quote me how to get a job I can provide proof of my certainty if we get in contact my email is kapishsfdc@gmail.com btw I’m not asking for a job I’m just asking we’re to find them
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
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?
Good to see you active on youtube David. Thank you
Dude - Your sense of humor and candor are a pleasure!
Thanks!!!!!
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👍👍
Mid-thirties here too about to make that move, good luck to you ❤️
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.
Thank you!!!!!
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...
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.
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 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.
have been using SFDC myself, thanks for that !! still have my exam to be done, and my first job to be found...
Great analysis ! Thank you David for what you do !!
Thank you for these, David!
I really needed this perspective! Thanks David :)
Thanks Dave. U the true inspiration for millions of us out here.
Started Salesforce training last week, loving it so far!
Hi did u got job?
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.
Hello 👋 Chirag,
What path did you take???
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
Start with Trailhead if you're looking to learn. Check on specific career paths that you're interested in.

I found your CZcams channel today. Please keep making these videos. They are helpful. Thx
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
Hi David , so much needed this video . Thank you so much :)
Thanks David! Helpful info as always 👍🏻
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
Thanks lol
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.
✌️✌️✌️
Thanks for giving insight and needed direction.
This was a super honest and valuable video. Thanks
Thanks David for your honest comments about the current market situation.
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.
Thanks for providing the insights!
Just awesome. All facts and no rubbish. Thanks man.
Cheers!
Amazing Insights David!!! :)
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😉
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!
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!
Excellent video, David. Thank you!
Thank you!
Bruh you are a Lion, love your hair style much love from India, thanks for the content
You just made my day so much better!!!
Thx!!
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
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.

Thank u for your honest opinion.
Learned about Salesforce admins thru Tiktok getting my Trailblazing hours. Expecting the best.
tiktok link plz..
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?
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 @ David, this video movtivate me to learn Salesforce.
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?
Liked it man 👌

I am laravel developer and achieved 3000+ points on trailblazer. Will nail it soon and add to my resume
❣️ lovely information.. thank you
Thanks ! It is helpful.
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?
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 !
Thank you David!
Cheers!
Thank you for this.
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.
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 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
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.
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 :)
Another angle on this is Salesforce is now strategic. So the skills you need are enterprise level implementation (COE / DevOps / BA / Architecture). So BIG projects, with big budgets and big problems. And you get paid based on the size of the problems you can fix. Big problems = big $$$. If you don;t know what these terms mean, go and start finding out. spoiler alert: you won't find them on trailhead. train.elements.cloud/live
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 😊
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.
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.
Love the video David, I've been working in the UK market for 2 years now and I've recently passed my 4th cert (Advanced Admin)
Trying to improve my developer skills at the moment to pass Dev 1. Any Advice?
Thanks David, great video! RE a soon to be college technical grad, if not Salesforce, what technology/platform do you see is Phase one currently? Or any platform you would recommend to focus on?
Thanks brother 👍🏻
Really great video David! I'm curious to know your thoughts about Mulesoft? Which phase of the lifecycle would you place it?
What phase you think it’s in? Isn’t it part of SF?
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.
Forgot to mention, that already have 68 badges on Trailhead but need more practice before take the test.
Cheers Norberto you got this buddy 👊👊
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 ?
Hello David,
Thank you so much for all your amazing videos.
I am working in SAP CRM and have planned to switch to Salesforce. I would like to go with SF ADM certification soon.
Do you provide any sort of online training?
Best Salesforce related channel on CZcams. 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!
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.
Hi David. Thankyou for sharing the insights on salesforce. It was really helpful. I'm a fresher computer science engineering graduate. Can you suggest the suitable roles in salesforce that a fresher who is new to this domain can learn and take a certification?
David! Thanks for your honest analysis and your recommendations! This rules!
Thx!!!
Thanks for the video, does it apply to Canadian job market. I think there is big market for it in USA but when I search on Indeed Canada I don't see many jobs out there.
Hi David, That's really so informative !!!!! I am having 7 years of experience in PLM tool which involves java. Now suddenly there is no market for the tool which I am working on. Is it a good idea I can switch my career to Salesforce developer and how much experience would you suggest me to keep as my package is already good.
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
Hi David, still waiting on the last two courses on Apex academy. Are you planning on making them anytime soon? Eagerly waiting! Love your content!
And also the remaining modules on sfdc99.com :)
