Although I've felt your pain a lot, what has helped me is having a skill aspiration conversation with my project lead and qualify/quantify things as they happen. The more you document what you do, the more you will feel like you have achieved and can therefore prove when you make the jump one day 😉

Which is the more lucrative and flexible long term career path when comparing .NET development vs salesforce development.

By flexible I mean in terms of moving between positions, companies and technologies.
