[user] for someone who's getting started with automation, n8n is far from the right choice, is it? Curious to understand the rationale behind recommending n8n – which is built for technical teams – to a beginner :thinking_face:

Actually automation is the only delay am having presently. I've taken the Clay 101 course, enroled for another program that teaches Clay and B2B Lead gen before now.

The automation skill is what am trying to learn now to go into full time GTM Engineer.

Thanks Arpit and Casper for your suggestions.

Now I understand both arguments and decided on what to do based on your explanations.

You're basically saying "whatever your hand finds doing, go full throttle and do it well not minding the sacrifice."

Any n8n resource you can recommend that streamlines learning towards GTME?

Fair point, everyone has their preference. But from my recent conversations with CEOs in the GTM and AI Agents space, the market is screaming for n8n experts right now. The complexity pays off because it allows for unique workflows that standard tools can't handle. If the goal is to be a full-time GTM Engineer, n8n is where the future-proof skills are.

I'd be curious to see a GTM workflow built in n8n that one cannot build in Make, or for that matter, in Zapier.

Moreover, for people getting started with automation, starting with n8n without getting well-versed with beginner-friendly tools is just a bad investment of time.

They literally mention it on their website that they’re building for technical teams :slightly_smiling_face:
