Curious as to other Salesforce folk’s experience going from Consulting to industry.

I’m seeing lower salaries and higher expectations in terms of things like CPQ being advertised.

I’ve not done much with it but quite a lot with NPSP/Sales/Service.

If you go to a company that competes with FAANG for technical talent (not just Salesforce practicioners) and is all in on the platform, you can expect near-FAANG comp. If you go to "ye olde manufacturing shop est. 1917 who has this Salesforce thing", you're going to be paid 2 shiny quarters like the rest of their ops staff.

Me: "xyz Architect" title, 10 years xp, ex-Big4 and Salesforce, Application Architect, salary in the low 200's and TC (RSU's) in the mid-300's, moved from consulting late Q3/early Q4 2022.

Don't want to doxx myself but it's a company that makes an app/service you know, and I am leading solution design and enabling tech leads/business requirements gatherers to do their jobs better, in relation to achieving strategic initiatives. I'm on a small team of architects split by stage of the customer journey, and in that I effectively own opportunity to contract, which includes CPQ and CLM. I'm also involved in some "side quests" which amount to build vs buy/which one decisions.
