App Insights. Connect your Power Apps to Application Insights. It gives you telemetry on user behavior. "Nobody is clicking the 'Submit' button." Maybe it's because the button is off-screen on an iPad? App Insights tells you what users do, not what they say.

Salary vs. Equity. 💸 In the Dynamics world, equity is rare unless you join an ISV (Product company). For consultancies, Cash is King. Don't take a lower salary for "profit share" unless you have seen the books. Demand market rate.

D365 Sales "Sequences" (Sales Accelerator). This is replacing standard "Workflows" for lead nurturing. If you are still building complex Power Automate flows to create tasks for salespeople... stop. Use Sequences. It gives them a UI checklist. It’s built-in. Use standard features first.

The "Why us?" question. Don't say "Because you are a big Microsoft partner." Say "Because I saw you delivered the [X] project for [Client Y], and I specialize in that vertical." Flattery works, but researched flattery works better.

Power Automate: Trigger Conditions. Stop triggering your flow on every modification and then using a "Condition" action to stop it. That counts as a flow run ($). Use Trigger Conditions (the expression at the top) to stop it from ever starting. Save money. Save API calls.

Don't stress about "Imposter Syndrome." The platform changes every week. Nobody is an expert in everything anymore. We are all just professional Googlers who know how to read documentation. Confidence comes from the ability to find the answer, not knowing it instantly.

Power BI "Direct Query" vs "Import." Direct Query sounds great ("Real time data!"). But it kills performance for the user. Always default to Import unless you strictly need second-by-second updates. Fast reports > Live reports.

Don't ignore the "Functional" questions in a "Technical" interview. "How would you explain a 'Many-to-Many' relationship to a user?" This tests your communication skills. Don't draw an ERD diagram. Use an analogy (Students vs. Classes).

D365 F&O (Finance) developers: RSAT (Regression Suite Automation Tool) is mandatory now. With "One Version" updates happening constantly, you cannot manually test the ERP every month. If you aren't scripting tests in RSAT, your upgrades will eventually break the ledger.

Consultants: Focus on "Billable Utilization" in your interviews. Ask: "What is the target utilization rate?" If they say 95-100%, run. You will have zero time for training or admin. A healthy target is 75-85%.

Solution Checker is your best friend (and worst enemy). Run it before you try to export. It catches the silly stuff: "Retrieving all columns," "HTML in labels," "Deprecated client APIs." Fix the warnings now, or fix the bugs in Production later.

The "Citizen Developer" vs. "Shadow IT" debate. It's a fine line. If IT doesn't know the app exists, it's Shadow IT. If IT knows it exists and has a policy for it, it's Citizen Development. Governance is the only difference.

SharePoint is NOT a relational database. I don't care that it's "free." Once you hit 5,000 items, or need complex security permissions, or need referential integrity... SharePoint breaks. Start with Dataverse. Even the "Developer Plan" is better than a production SharePoint list for complex apps.
