Many people nowadays are teaching salesforce but you are the one unique who is addressing some real confusions for the newbies in ohana. you are an inspiration for many sir
Ooh I hit all the marks of those conditions, I'm not scared to be all in, and I'm 49 years looking to have some fun at the end - very interested in hybriding a Salesforce System Admin *And* Development after your encouragement. You said all the most inspiring things being later in career and making a change. Thank you!
Hey David, I've just began one week ago in SalesForce, your video really makes me excited to see what's going on ahead! Hope to see more of your content
Thank you so much for this, David. I have been trying to figure out which direction to go in when it comes to which certification, and you could not have posted this video at a better time! Greatly appreciate your insight. Looking forward to more videos about this!
ok David Liu + Focusonforce voucher ?? I already love this video :p I'm so thankful for your blog. I found it 3 years ago, while I was in the middle of a carreer change, and I'm now a 8X certified Salesforce developer (even platform II even though I NEVER thought I would call myself a developer one day) ! Your blog (and now your youtube channel) are a great souce of motivation and advice ! Thanks so much for all that you do !
@@dvdkliu I'm currently following the trailmix you created, but I'm unsure where to begin taking notes. I'd like to write down notes on things that will be on the exam, but I'm not sure what all modules are included in it.
Great video. I'm glad I have few certifications are in A and B level 🤓 Working on getting developer I and your Apex academy videos are sooooo helpful and fun! You definitely have the voice to get me stay engaged!!!
Excellent info. Very helpful. My employer wants me to get the Administrator cert for a promotion. Once I get that, I'll work on the advanced admin. I was hoping to stay at my current employer, so that's why I would get the one they recommend instead of what you recommend. Really appreciate your channel!
David thank you for this insightful video, agree with all your cert-chart S,A,B,C except one point, reality we face today getting a real paying job is difficult even if DEV II or CTA and numbers of certs 10-16-20 help some but not as much as it may be marketed.
@@dvdkliu Thanks for the reply, that was super fast! I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I'm planning on going back to school to do a Master's next year but for the time being I'm trying to find a job that I enjoy that also pays decently well. How long will it take to go from having zero experience to landing a job with Salesforce? Is it even worth perusing if I'll only be doing it for a year?
@@dvdkliu Fair enough. In that case, is there anything else you might recommend? I did very well in university but it seems like the only jobs I really qualify for are in customer service and sales. I'd much rather do something more practical- which will ultimately be the end result of my education once I earn a Master's, but for the time being it's like I'm in limbo. I love learning and am willing to take any certificates or courses as long as they'll lead to a more interesting job within the year. I know Salesforce is your thing but you seem to have a lot of experience and any advice will be appreciated.
PD2 with all the super badge requirements is much longer and time consuming to obtain than the exam conducted earlier. The exam only had one scenario but the badges require a lot of effort, even for someone to use code from elsewhere, it takes time. You will truly be exposed to a very large number of features and areas in Salesforce without a doubt. Personally I feel PD2 is more valuable now than earlier, the previous one was a much simpler means to pass.
I really enjoy your videos and often refer back to this one. I am a veteran so HAVE to get my Admin cert before I get any more vouchers, but was wondering if you might consider updating this list annually? I'm curious about the projected growth of CPQ and Field Service Lightning specifically. Thanks, and yes, I did hit the "Subscribe" button.
That is a great idea! Refresh the tiers every year. I'm adding this idea to my video list thank you for the idea! P.S always happy to help a vet reach out if you ever need tips
Awesome content David, looking forward to your next video about the order of certifications to get. Actually I was confused if I should opt for advanced admin or not, well now I have 30 days target for that. Thank you
Thank you for this. I have never thought of making saleforce into a profession on its own. I am already using saleforce daily in my own company and these videos just opened my eyes to new opportunities.
David, what about the Omnistudio/Vlocity certifications (Developer and Consultant), which tier would you put them? It would be great if you make a video talking about Omnistudio/Vlocity.
Damn..it took me four tries to get my PD1 cert, and see you value it pretty high makes me feel validated, ngl. My employers really want me to get system administrator too. They argue its the best one to have so they would disagree with your estimation of it i'm sure. I'll take your word over theirs tho! Update: I have acquired my Platform Developer I, System Administrator and Platform App Builder certifications.
I am a solutions consultant working on integrating our CRM to many platforms and architecting solutions from both within and out of our software. I got my SFCA last year to learn more about CRM fundamentals and to help me become a better consultant. What should i get next? Platform app builder, sales cloud consultant, or advanced admin? 🧐
Great video In my experience working on Salesforce in Italy I have faced B2B Commerce a lot of times, I don't know if it's a peculiar characteristic of the Italian market
I am in commercial banking and use salesforce as our CRM. I want to shift careers and learned html and css this year. Thinking of switching over to salesforce admin then up to developer role. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
Brand new just entering back in the workforce after mom break for decades! Is there a synopsis anywhere of these different certifications? Thanks for sharing your TH-cam video!
If you already know how to code you may have great opportunities already. Salesforce will be an opportunity that puts you closer to the business. Up to you!
I'm Salesforce Admin certified but I still can't decide what path to learn towards. Can you make a video explaining the different path? I know part of the info is on Trailhead but think of it has "trailpath for dummies"
@@dvdkliu just did it. I was really surprised by the results. I came out as a admin/developer hybrid when I wasn't even considering becoming a developer
Another helpful resource video. Thanks David! But question, I was laid off due to COVID and making that career pivot. I will soon be taking the Administrator exam. Soon after if/when I pass, I want to pursue the Marketing certs. I find the SF Marketing Cloud career path very interesting. Even though you said it's very niche and probably not as lucrative as the path you recommend, are there many opportunities with Marketing certs?
I used to be an email spammer in this industry and I hated it so I'm biased. Best way to know is to search for jobs in your area and see what has the most hits!
I was about to start learning about TABLEAU CRM and then i saw Einstein Analytics and Discovery Consultant in D Tier 😐 Talk about boost to the morale 😬😛
Hey David, great video!! My question to you is do you think this ranking still applies more than 2 years later, or do you think some of these certs have moved up in rank?
Thanks! It's largely the same, and likely will be even 2 years from today. I might give the niche certs slightly more weight now as the core stuff is more saturated
Funny, nowadays Dev II is one of the easiest certs, it was tough only when required panel pass with real development and QA from SF. Now its just super badge on trailhead + 60 questions routine. But overall I agree with this table. I recently passed Nonprofit and I feel its useless for me, waste of time.
He says that in a future video he will tell us how may salesforce certifications to get and what order to get them in. That is what I was expecting in this video based on it's title.
Hi David, please clarify my doubt, i see this trigger from your videos in Pluralsight, that is HelloWorld trigger you have written on Lead object, trigger HelloWorldTrigger on Lead (before update) {
if(trigger.isbefore && Trigger.isupdate) { for (Lead l : Trigger.new) { l.FirstName = 'karthik '; l.LastName = 'chandra'; } } } this trigger should get fire only at the time lead record update but in reality its firing on both insert and update, I go to lead object =>click new => entered some random first name, last name and save. I should see my random name but i am seeing karthik chandra. i should see karthik chandra only when i update but that's not how its behaving. please look into this issue :)
@@dvdkliu Ok thanks for reply. so this may be my trailhead org issue. but i don't have any other workflow rules, process builders on lead object. its ok no worries, you confirmed that code is right..that's enough for me :)
David, I only just discovered your channel (literally this morning) and am already enjoying the content. I may even need to look you up on LI because you just seem like a cool guy to get to know. Anyway, I really like what you did here but I have one disagreement with it and one question. The disagreement is regarding the Non-Profit Consultant. Now this isn't just because I have it, but also because SF has been making a rather large push into the Non-Profit world. I don't see this (or any of the Consultant certs) as D-tier. At worse, I think you should have them in C-Tier because at the very least it is a niche market. I am not even working in non-profit any longer (work for a SF partner now) but I still stand by this defense. My question ... Tiermaker?? I've never heard of it, but now I want to go mess with it (later). What other cool (dare I say nerdy) tools do you like to use that guys like us would probably enjoy but don't necessarily know exist? :-) Oh, and I agree with Fong Chau below ... the Charmander evolution comment was both hilarious and brilliant.
Thanks!! You are probably right about the nonprofit stuff, I don't have a lot of exposure into that industry aside from a small sample size of people who despise it. As for tools - this kinda stuff is pretty popular in the gaming world so I'm just copying them lol
CPQ specialist should place alot higher than what you placed it. Why? It's very hot in the market. The cert is around more demanding than some architect certs, around 10 times harder than the admin cert. In a market that everyone has admin, app builder, and sales consultant and every job has 100 applicants you better get general certs, and certs that will make you stand out. cpq consultants in the US earn 300usd for one hour..
My background and work experience are all in marketing. Which salesforce certificate would complement my background and where do I get the certificate? Thank you sir.
@@dvdkliu thank u for the quick reply! Do I need to get the marketing cloud admin certificate first? Or can I jump to do the consultant certificate? Secondly, any recommendations on where/which platforms should I use to prepare myself for the exams? Thank u!
I have been hearing a lot about Tableau. I know the names of some certifications have recently changed. Is an equivalent to "Tableau CRM & Einstein Discovery Consultant" represented in the tier list? If not, where would you rank it?
Hi ). I am an English teacher seeking a career change. I want to study to get an IT job but I discovered I dislike coding 😔 . What can I study to be able to find a job in IT that is not coding-related? Thanks a lot.
I think that putting Admin cert in the Niche tier is incorrect, Its a mandatory cert to even attempt some of the others and for those starting in the industry is a good benchmark to prove yourself as some employers won't even let you in the door until you have it. from experience I find that the most overrated cert is the advanced admin as it doesn't really cover flows in much depth and when you want a good admin, you will want them to be able to create flows I have known many admins that have this cert and they are really not very good. agreed with all the other rankings ... love the channel
Nice video David. I want to kick off a career in Salesforce. Do I need to do the Administrator cert and then take the Salesforce UX design course? Is UX design course in demand?
Thanks for the video :) I have Admin certification only and App Builder already scheduled, also, I have a voucher for Platform Developer I, and finally, I have another voucher and I need scheduled because of the expiration date, I think about Service Consultant but now I working with Sales, so I'm more in doubt between Java Script Developer I and Sharing and Visibility Design. What do you think is the best with this background? Because bouth are in the A level
Hi David great video.. a small question . For someone who is just starting their sales force journey .. why certification is best to get into an entry level job. I have a project management background and want to get into the tech sector
Hey David, while doing modules in trailhead , is it enough to just read what is present in trailhead or down in every module there is resources section and it provide some links which would lead to salesforce help docs. Do we need to also read salesforce help docs as well? . I am new to salesforce , sorry if i asked naive question.
Disagree with the Advanced Admin one, I rarely see employers ask for this cert. In fact, if you have over 3 or 4 certs and work experience, you're pretty much considered an experienced admin aka advanced admin lol. Nonprofit Cloud I would probably move it up to C tier as well, although I don't have this cert personally, nonprofit companies have quite a presence in the job market
If you have no prior job experience with Salesforce and you work on obtaining certification to become in the S Tier. Would it be difficult to land a job after ?
One other question. I recently subscribed to Focus on Force to increase my SFDC knowledge before I attempt the exam, but you also mention in a video that memorizing the test questions is also a good learning tool. Are you referring to the practice exam on SFDC or some other question bank?
This video is os helpful.... June 1st I stumbled upon sfdc99.com... What an inspiration you are David !! Since June 14th till date I have completed 1.Admin 2.Advanced Admin 3.Service Cloud and 4.Platform App Builder. Studying up for the Platform Developer I.. hopefully will clear this in 3 weeks time.
Hi David, While going through the trailhead for "Platform Developer 1" certification, I came across "Apex and .NET" basics module, can you please let me know do I need to know(and if how much proficient I should be) .NET and Java to become a Salesforce developer. Thank you!
Hey I am from Marketing background (not IT), can I just do Admin & advanced admin certification to get a good job? What you recommend? Thanks in advance
I go back to this every year. Feel so grateful. Never forget where you came from

When Charmander evoles into Charizard has to be the most relatable analogy I've heard yet.

Nice video David. I want to kick off a career in Salesforce. Do I need to do the Administrator cert and then take the Salesforce UX design course? Is UX design course in demand?
UX design cert has very little demand!
Thanks for the video :) I have Admin certification only and App Builder already scheduled, also, I have a voucher for Platform Developer I, and finally, I have another voucher and I need scheduled because of the expiration date, I think about Service Consultant but now I working with Sales, so I'm more in doubt between Java Script Developer I and Sharing and Visibility Design. What do you think is the best with this background? Because bouth are in the A level
JavaScript dev 1 will be better on the resume, especially if you're going for technical jobs!
@@dvdkliu Thank u so much for the response :)
I want to be a developer in the ecosystem, would Developer 1 be enough to get started? Or Developer 1 & 2 to get a job first?
Realistically you never stop looking for jobs, keep applying! Never ready
Hi David great video.. a small question . For someone who is just starting their sales force journey .. why certification is best to get into an entry level job. I have a project management background and want to get into the tech sector
Is the information in this video but helpful for this? 😁
Focus on force coupon no longer working for additional purchases
Next video tomorrow has a new code!
@@dvdkliu You're the man - excited for the video tomorrow! Thanks as always and keep the awesome videos coming, they're great!
Thanks!!
Hey David, while doing modules in trailhead , is it enough to just read what is present in trailhead or down in every module there is resources section and it provide some links which would lead to salesforce help docs. Do we need to also read salesforce help docs as well? . I am new to salesforce , sorry if i asked naive question.
Great content!!
Thank you!
Hi David! With so many certifications, how do you find the time to do the maintenance on them? Thank for the video! Very helpful.
One maintenance test covers like 5 certs so it's not that bad 😋
How do you rate the Business Analyst Credential for Salesforce? Is it really worth it
It's probably an easier one to pass!
Ótimo vídeo.. confirmou coisas que eu já pensava parecido, e destacou outras que não estava tão atento. Obrigado!
Disagree with the Advanced Admin one, I rarely see employers ask for this cert. In fact, if you have over 3 or 4 certs and work experience, you're pretty much considered an experienced admin aka advanced admin lol. Nonprofit Cloud I would probably move it up to C tier as well, although I don't have this cert personally, nonprofit companies have quite a presence in the job market
If you have no prior job experience with Salesforce and you work on obtaining certification to become in the S Tier. Would it be difficult to land a job after ?
S tier you'll be more than fine. You'll be in the top 10%!
One other question. I recently subscribed to Focus on Force to increase my SFDC knowledge before I attempt the exam, but you also mention in a video that memorizing the test questions is also a good learning tool. Are you referring to the practice exam on SFDC or some other question bank?
The Salesforce ones ✌️😁✌️
@@dvdkliu I have failed my SF Adm exam. Any advice for me, will be welcomed !
Memorize the questions you got wrong and study them!
The coupon code only discounted my order by 3% instead of 25%. Is it only for certain courses or the entire cart?
This video is os helpful.... June 1st I stumbled upon sfdc99.com... What an inspiration you are David !! Since June 14th till date I have completed
1.Admin 2.Advanced Admin 3.Service Cloud and 4.Platform App Builder.
Studying up for the Platform Developer I.. hopefully will clear this in 3 weeks time.
Yoohoo..got a reply from my mentor!!!
Hey David, how many certs do we need to cross the FU threshold?? Great vid by the way.
Hi David,
While going through the trailhead for "Platform Developer 1" certification, I came across "Apex and .NET" basics module, can you please let me know do I need to know(and if how much proficient I should be) .NET and Java to become a Salesforce developer.
Thank you!
David K. Liu allright,thanks!
Planning PD1 and Admin1
Would you recommend getting the admin done before the advanced admin? Or can that be considered as skipping steps?
Admin is a prereq for adv admin, can't even attempt it without the prereq
Thanks for the video 👍
Hey I am from Marketing background (not IT), can I just do Admin & advanced admin certification to get a good job? What you recommend? Thanks in advance
Got a lot of vids on this check out the channel!
As a beginner .... i do not know much about salesforce...which certification i should study?
Hope this video answers your question!
David I have just competed my PGDM recently. Is every Salesforce certification needed if I dream of becoming a Salesforce BDA?
