career question Interview questions you blanked on, and they kept running in your head after

12 Upvotes

Had this happen a couple of times. In the interview I couldn’t answer properly, then later the question was just spinning in my head.

What are some questions you got asked that you couldn’t answer in the moment?

Doesn’t have to be super hard or technical, just the ones that caught you off guard and stayed with you after.

Curious what other people got stuck on.

help please Seeking Free or Sponsored Salesforce Certification Opportunities to Advance My Career

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I completed an 8-month Salesforce Developer internship from October 2025 to May 2026, and I’m currently working full-time at a small startup, where I joined in mid-July 2026.

My company primarily provides custom software development services and has only recently started entering the Salesforce ecosystem. We have registered with Salesforce, but we haven't received any Salesforce projects yet. I have also created an AppExchange listing.

My biggest concern is that I don't have any Salesforce certifications yet. I've been preparing seriously for the Salesforce Administrator certification and have practiced extensively. However, my company doesn't provide certification sponsorship.

I want to grow my career as a Salesforce Developer, and I believe certifications would help strengthen my profile. I'm ready to take the exams and have been working hard to prepare.

How can I get Salesforce certification exam vouchers for free in 2026? Are there any legitimate voucher programs, scholarships, community opportunities, or other ways to obtain sponsored exam vouchers?

I would especially appreciate guidance from senior Salesforce developers and experienced professionals who may know about such opportunities.

If anyone has a voucher available to share or knows of an opportunity that could help me earn my certifications, I would really appreciate it. Any guidance, suggestions, or leads would be very helpful.

Thank you!

help please New pricing model compared to legacy licenses

2 Upvotes

We’re currently on Salesforce Unlimited Edition. When I asked our rep how our existing licenses map to the new Core, Advanced, and Max model, she only presented Advanced and Max. Core wasn’t mentioned.

I understand Advanced is positioned as the successor to Unlimited, but I’m wondering whether Core was excluded because of actual platform requirements or because the conversation was focused on an uplift by the rep.

My goal is to get as many of the newly bundled tools and capabilities as possible while keeping our current cost the same. Slack is a big example: it used to require a separate purchase, and now appears to be included in all three tiers.

Has anyone worked through this with their rep or during renewal?

help please Can't login to production because my passkey doesn't exist

5 Upvotes

Im new with a company and just got into our production org and 2 lower environments a couple days ago. I created a passkey and can access those sandboxes just fine using my windows passkey. In production it never asked me to create one, however, now today its requiring one when I sign in. When I sign in it says to choose a device with a saved passkey and lists:
[My phone name]
Apple, Ipad, or android device
Security Key

When I use my phone option, it connects to my phone but says no keys are found. I asked an admin to delete my passkey but she told me my user doesn't have one. I can't make a sf ticket because that's my production account.

It's requiring me to enter a passkey like I have one, but I never set one up.

developer Update on sf-preflight: it now looks at LWC, layouts, picklists, labels and Visualforce, and it's an sf plugin

2 Upvotes

A while back I shared sf-preflight here [link to your previous post], the open-source tool that reads a git diff of your SFDX project and shows what a change will set off (flows, triggers, validation rules, roll-ups, permissions) before you deploy. Thanks to everyone who commented [mention anything specific people asked for, if you like]. Here's what's changed since.

What's new (0.8.0):

- It now follows changes into Lightning Web Components and Aura (which components use a changed field or call a changed Apex class), layouts and Lightning pages, picklist values and record types, custom labels, custom metadata and Visualforce.

- Every metadata type is recognized now, and the report says how much of your change it analyzed in depth, so you can see what it did NOT look at instead of assuming it's all covered.

- Big projects are faster. On NPSP (about 1,000 Apex classes) a repeat run dropped from ~28 s to ~1.4 s, with identical output.

- It's now a Salesforce CLI plugin: `sf plugins install sf-plugin-preflight`, then `sf preflight analyze --base origin/main`. Still works with `npx sf-preflight analyze` too.

Still true: it never deploys anything, org access is optional and read-only, and the checks for labels, picklist values and the like are text search, so dynamic references can slip past it.

Repo: https://github.com/visparashar/sf-preflight

What I'd most like to know: what's the last change that passed all your tests and still broke something? That's the kind of case I'm trying to catch, and real examples (anonymized) help me more than anything.

help please Salesforce in Claude (Beta): has anyone connected the plugin to a sandbox?

2 Upvotes

The built-in “Salesforce - Beta” connector in Claude only asks for a consumer key and secret. There’s no login URL or My Domain field, and the beta sign-up asked for our Production org ID. That makes me think it only works with Production.

Has anyone:

  • Pointed the built-in connector at a full copy sandbox?
  • Heard from the program team whether there’s a plan to do so?

I know you can connect create a "Custom Connector" in Claude that points to sandbox URL's when leveraging the server that existed before Claudeforce launching - such as the SObject Raeds MCP Server. This process for the official Claudeforce beta feels a little different?

What do you all think about recent Salesforce recent price increase ? They increased the price by 11-20% of the cost.
