Clinical Trials SAS Programmer

[budvesota]

Hello SAS family, I am seeking insights or your experience with clinical trials positions and SAS programming. How soon did it take you to be proficient? Did you get your job after experience or got experience after the job? I recently cleared my SAS base certification and training for clinical trials sas programmer since a couple months and always lose hope and motivation thinking I might not be able to get there. How far in terms on skills am I required to go like basics of SDTM, ADaM and survival analysis is enough or do I need more? If yes, what is required. Any recommendations in terms of books, courses, youtube or anything.

Appreciate you help and thanks in advance.
