Are there any technical architects at Salesforce without a computer science degree?

I have been a Salesforce developer for Three years and have all of the application architect certs but I am not sure if I am still under qualified or if it is just imposter syndrome creeping in.

Hello i m tech arch at Salesforce without CS degree but i have engineering degree though

I’m a TA in CSG without a CS degree. I do have a technical degree similar to MIS.

I am CSG TA. I majored the Chemical Engineering. I am seeing lot of junior developers from ADC center who did not CS. They will be TA in the future.

If you know the platform you can get it, degree doesnt matter. CS background just makes it a lot easier…

I didn't have the degree when I worked there and I was Sr. (L8, Sr. Manager-level). It's a mid-career role based on specialized knowledge, so it never came up. I suppose for the minority of people they hire with no existing Salesforce experience, demonstrating an ability to learn and pass exams is important, and a degree is one way to do that. But I think it was much more important that I had the Application Architect designation coming in + olan area of specialty (e.g. CPQ / Marketing Cloud / CRM Analytics /etc.), and it would have been even better if I had System Architect in addition / instead. They used to require that you get both within 18 months of hire, and many on staff have them, or even have CTA / are candidates to sit.

I started a company just under 1 year ago. We sell a product via ecom channels and have done ~100K in revenue with a 60% gross margin.

The first 6 months I was working a full time job. I quit my job to focus on the business full time, and have since depleted my readily available capital. I’m bootstrapping the business with my own funds. I was recently offered a job in my old industry for 80K per year. I was previously making 62K.

Should I take the job?

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
