I'll never get tired of saying this
I'll never get tired of saying this:
Skills is all you need
Yes, certifications are good to prove you know something
→ They won’t deliver a project
→ They won’t help you write a trigger
→ They won’t help you save $$$ to the business
The best developers I know have 0 certs
Why? Because the better you get, the more other people rely on you
→ You get more responsibility
→ People ask you for more help
→ You get more important projects
Don’t get me wrong - certifications are important, very important.
But only to highlight your real skills
And they shouldn't be the goal
→ Yes, do the certifications
→ Yes, tell people about your wins
→ Yes, do a post about what you can
But focus on what matters the most - skills
Betters skills → Better job → More freedom to take care of yourself ❤️
P.S. I am opening up a few slots for mentoring next month. Would you like to join?
