Salesforce Interview Pack: 152 Qs + 75 Scenarios with Samarth Ahuja

Most interview prep teaches you the topic. This pack gets you ready to answer out loud, and to design under pressure.

New in Edition 2: 50 design scenarios. The questions that decide product-company rounds are not "what is a permission set?" but "here is a requirement, how would you build it?". A public group must get access when a formula field changes. Call a slow, unreliable API when an opportunity closes. Make your Apex REST API safe when a partner retries. Keep two components on a page in sync. Switch automation off in production at 9 pm. Each comes with the trap (the answer that sounds right and fails), a strong answer with code where it matters, the trade-offs and the follow-up question. The platform behaviour the answers rely on was checked in a real org.

For every one of 152 questions, in 12 rounds:

• Say this: an answer you can say in about a minute, written to be spoken.
• They will ask next: the follow-up a good interviewer asks, with its answer.
• The answer that loses marks: the common answer that sounds right and is not.

The rounds: fundamentals and the data model, Apex, data and SOQL, Lightning Web Components, JavaScript, integrations and APIs, security and OAuth, Flow, events, design and architecture, Git and DevOps, and AI and Agentforce.

Also inside, and not in the free question bank:

• 25 "when it breaks" scenarios: it worked in testing and failed in production, walk me through it.
• 8 one-page cheat sheets: the limits, the order of execution, which async Apex, which API, which OAuth flow, LWC, events and security.
• 65 rapid-fire answers for screening calls.
• Behavioural answers in the situation, task, action, result shape, with Salesforce examples.
• Plans for 1 hour, 1 evening and 1 week, and a day-of checklist.
• Flashcards for your phone: an Anki deck and a spreadsheet, now with the design scenarios.

Honest note: every question also has a full written answer, free, at samarthahuja.org/interview-questions. The pack is the version built for the interview itself: spoken, shorter, with the follow-ups and traps, and with the 75 scenarios, cheat sheets and plans the free bank does not have.

Who it is for: Salesforce developers preparing for interviews, from about one year of experience to senior.

How it works: instant download, a 114-page PDF and two flashcard files. Checked against the Winter '27 release. For your own preparation; please don't share or resell it.
