Do you think it makes sense to transition from an application architect to a technical program manager? My priorities are making $$$ while not working more than 50h weeks

TPM seems too much like herding cats IMO. And in my org, when we did layoffs, SA's were safe but some TPM's got let go. There definitely seems to be a view that it's a role which can much more easily be consolidated into fewer or replaced by the consulting team on the ground.

Current plan is to transition to a Salesforce TPM role in a big tech firm if possible. Seems like more money short term and more potential long term. TPM into tech management seems like a more cushy job with higher salary than partner and more growth options while not working partner hours. Thoughts?

I’m working on making a similar change. Trying to move into software engineering or engineering team management. Seems like salary goes way higher for those kinds of people-manager jobs than SF architects.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
