In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:

“I worked extensively in Sharepoint Admin on premise and then took a break. After that the whole world looks changed. How do I take my career forward into Sharepoint?

  1. Certification: plz guide which one, to get confidence and job.
  2. Courses: Online courses but for what and where?
  3. Self Study: I prefer this, but it seems to be an ocean and not systematic Or as per business requirement.
  4. How good and how stable it is to be on SPFX side?

Please guide. Thanks.”

Some relevant notes/links shared by the team:

  • Generally speaking, consider expanding into solutions, rather than just admin. Learn about flat architecture, how SharePoint integrates with Teams, head to a community conference, follow people on Twitter, etc. Microsoft provides a great overview of SharePoint developer community resources at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/community/community
  • Understand what Modern is and isn’t. Stay abreast of changes by listening to the Intrazone podcast https://intrazone.libsyn.com/
  • Another great resource is MVP Vlad Catrinescu’s certification study guides, training lists, and more at https://vladtalkstech.com/ 
  • You definitely want to get plugged into the Patterns and Practices (PnP) community https://pnp.github.io/
