I recently passed the Microsoft PL-400 exam, and I can confidently say that it has significantly improved my skills and expanded my knowledge. This exam was definitely not easy, but the combination of the Microsoft Learn study guide and the PL-400 practice test by P2PExams helped me prepare effectively and succeed on the first attempt.

Now that I have cleared this exam, I’m seeking guidance on what I should do next to develop my skills further and advance my career.

Firstly, congratulations!

Good job to pass on the first attempt.

I agree with @MS.Ragavendar - PL-600 Power Platform Solution Architect would be a great EXPERT target for you! There is also Associate level PL-300 for Power BI and PL-500 for Power Automate / RPA you can do if you didn't already.

If you want a less technical route and more broad consultant-type cert, there is the PL-200 Functional Consultant Associate - I personally liked that one!

All of this would give you a really rounded, solid career foundation in the Power Platform.

Really recommend to stay on top of Copilot topics too!!! New Copilot Admin certification also just released in BETA

Microsoft 365 Certified: Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals (beta) - Certifications | Microsoft Learn

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!
