Currently cs undergraduate looking for sidejob. How valuable would salesforce experience be for my career?
Ill be working with APEX and php by connecting endpoints between php api and salesforce api. Aswell as implementing processes in APEX for salesforce

Emphasize Systems Integration, Web Services and APIs and it won't matter as much.
Salesforce is a niche but the act of connecting and communicating B2B will always exist

I see a good amount of salesforce positions and mentioned in job requirements

#

so probably highly valuable for those

Personally I don't think it's worth learning during your undergrad

#

If you focus on your studies and maximizing the opportunities you have in undergrad which you won't have when it's over, that's better in my book

Lots of things. Hackathons, working at companies / startups connected through or advertising at your uni, working on CS research or implementing research in software packages / libraries, etc

#

Uni alumni have industry connections, your classmates can be the best network you'll have in your career most likely, your classes may teach you things that others who don't have a degree won't learn

#

To not take part in those to learn Salesforce dev that anyone can learn with an online course, not worth it to me.
