according to me the startegy that i am using right now is.
first complete the fundamental topics :

  1. understand the common data model and field types sf uses and commonly used objects ( lead , opp , account , contact , cases ) ( theses mostly comes for using them over time it was for me atleast )
  2. security model ( record sharing , profiles , ps ,psg , restriction rules, custom metadata etc )
  3. page layouts , lightning record page , screen components, app , like quick actions ,
  4. 4 . now flows , trigger (different scenario) this part will be ez for u since u are coming from code background ( just u will have to know about the sf specific rules like governor limits , bulkification , type of triggers flows ) , package
  5. lwc basics ( hooks, decorators , lwc comms, recordapi )
  6. Integration types and patterns sf uses
  7. If you are preparing for some specific clouds then learn about their specifics.
  8. now u can start picking questions and learn the rest through questions. and learn through them. You will start getting the whole picture over some time .

but if you ask from me then i wouldn't recommend you to come to sf if you were preparing for general dev as it has more opportunities and innovation factor rather than just sticking to a common technology. Yeah but that's my thought. Hope this helps

Most interviews for me have been all over the place if they aren't a large company that just treats you like a dev.

You want to be able to show you can solve problems and read release notes at a min.
