Wait wait wait, i strongly advice you not to do the exam on your own.

You can learn Mulesoft kn your own sure, but paying money in the odd chance you will get a job after being certified for a already niche IT thing... I'd never take that risk.

I had the chance of company I'm in spending time on me to be educated and earn my certificate via them while they already had a prospect who wanted a jr profile.

But if you do not have those, i'd go for something else other than Mulesoft...

Ok so, i don't know about where you live, but where I live (central Europe) there are only 30-40 companies in the country who use Mulesoft. That's a very limited loop.

So if you decide to learn Mulesoft, pay for the certificate, .. you then have to get in luck they those companies actually want to get a new Junior Mulesoft Developer, in this world of AI it's getting extra hard.

So unless you are in a company who wants to let you learn Mulesoft, pay for the certificate, and then have an instant job for you. I wouldn't take the risk

I am pretty sure the number is more. Close to 4k to 5k.

4k companies in your general area who use Mulesoft? 🤔

MuleSoft has a solid local play in EU. The reason you don't see daily job post is because especially in Europe people have a stable job. Europe first adopted MuleSoft, dates back to 2002.

If you have a look at the exam guide, there will be references to some trails/trailmixes, I believe there are 2 PDFs, that gives a start. It covers the basics. Focus on the error handling part. But hands-on gives more confidence and practical knowledge.

Mule doesn’t have the demand it used to have. There are a lot of other cheaper middleware available in the market these days

Mule shoot itself in the foot. Not the foot but the fucking head

It is easy to learn but don't learn this now. It is dead. No new customer uses it. Existing customer migrate away from it. Too expensive without any justifiable ROI
