Hey David, Congratulations on becoming father once again. You are my inspiration. Heck I pinged you in twitter previously regarding some career decision I had. Thanks for replying though. With your motivation and inspirations, I made it to Salesforce... Finally 🤘🏻 It was my goal becoming an architect in next 5 yr... Maybe its a bit harder journey than I thought and you made me rethink about being one. I feel I can't handle long meetings and not getting chance to make hands dirty with real implementation.

Good to see you back in front of the camera David. All the Technical Architect points sound right, but I don’t know how you can describe a solution architect as just a glorified admin who can’t code. There’s now a Solution Architect cert that includes Platform Developer I as a prerequisite, and you need to be able to write Apex for that.

@dvdkliu

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the info! Can't say I agree with Salesforce's choices here, as it's odd to me that a Solutions Arch cert would require a marketing cloud cert and a pd1. But it's all pretty new and I'm curious to see how it shakes up.

OMG I'm an STA and didn't know it. I just work really hard (or really efficient), know every nook & cranny of my 1800 user system, work directly and make great relationships with business leads all over the world, run the dev team, ghost-run the SCRUM, but also do 80% of the development (so I guess that's why I'm not?)... but I have always turned down literal people management despite being a mentor. I make hella good PPT and Visio, record training or provide it on-site... I don't know what I am. Except doomed; I outlive everyone who's ever given me huge props so there won't be anyone left to write my LinkedIn recs when I move on :(

I just want to work at a place where there is more than one dev that have ambition outside of just salesforce knowledge.

Thanks for making a video that I can send to my family when they ask what I do. My grandma says I Draw circles and squares on the screen.

Hi David, Glad to see you back after a long break. I really want to be hands on and never lose my touch. Is it possible to be an architect and still be hands on ? I know just like you said a lot of job roles are not truly architect positions, but if I clear my CTA very long road ahead will I still get to keep my coding part with me ?

@dvdkliu

Жыл бұрын

Yes a hands on architect is essentially a senior Salesforce developer!

superb

Get 100x certified by memorizing exam questions via many websites available online and then BS your way through at large organization pretending you know how to solve something. That's the experience I've had with most Salesforce professionals in last 3 years.

Have a section in the vid covering this closer to the end

Do you think there is any overlap between a Salesforce Technical Architect role at the actual company vs what you're describing?

Wasn't the term "Platform Architect" created to describe the person who has that central role/responsibility for smaller but complex implementations?

LOL just figured out I am doing the job haha, never knew! My role title is admin :) Also I don't make anywhere near 6 figures lololol

So basically anyone who's ever worked in a smaller company as the sole Salesforce admin has also been the technical architect. Not necessarily a very good one, but a technical architect none the less.
