Get a bit more technical and/or specialized, and you could be a solution architect.
TA1 I guess my question with that would be if it will have the same longevity? Maybe I'm mis-estimating, but if I'm thinking I have ~20 years until retirement, will there be a market for Salesforce solution architects for that long? My hunch is product management/ownership ends up maintaining the existing system, vs SA needing new products/implementations to stay relevant... But maybe I'm way off? Once a system is in a relatively good steady state would the PO be the first to be let go?

You’re thinking too short-termed. A Salesforce build is never truly “done”. There’s always refinements, updates, changes, platform shakeups. A Product Owner would need to help manage that, as would a solution architect need to plan and execute.
Have been a PO at a large end customer (this is old title) and certainly been heavily involved in the run state.
First off - thank you for your service and congratulations on getting in Tech. You have been fantastic already.
Yes… PO is a great path for someone with your experience.
I have been in the Tech industry for 30+ years… and I would be happy to have a chat sometime to share my perspectives
Best luck to you!
