How is Salesforce market for 15 yr+ experience guy nowadays? Looks like job openings in Salesforce tech is lesser than last year and companies are not willing to pay much. Accenture has budget max 45 fixed + variable, Infosys is offering 46 fixed + variable. I don't count variable as it can be zero as well. Is it time to move to latest tech like AI/ML? What's your thought who are working in Salesforce industry?

P. S. working as architect in Citi

Salesforce is not a niche skill now. I read the recent salary trend report published by top HR Management Consulting Companies Salesforce is nowhere mentioned in the 2025 report.
Accenture, Infosys are hiring that’s because they recently got some new projects but it doesn’t mean the journey will be smooth as you are already in 15yr+ and I hope you prefer some WLB rather than joining every late-night call with customers.
AI/ML, Data Scientist, Agentic AI is growing faster and people are getting 40 LPA in 4/5yr experience.
Salesforce is itself hiring less for their GDC in TC, STC roles. However, the SF Architect Role is still in demand and it's growing, the only drawback its industry industry-specific like for example Health Cloud, Finance etc. so it's more like a Solution than a Technical.
However, I see a huge shift in Data Engineering, Agentic AI roles at Salesforce which is however not core salesforce role.

One mistake I made specifically learning Salesforce, I used to think this is something like SAP but it's nothing but an SaaS Solution which now Zoho, ServiceNow offering with competitive license even MS Dynamics coming up with attractive license cost.
Being a CS Graduate sticking to core computing, software, and networking is always beneficial rather than learning SaaS based solutions.
Salesforce will survive off course they are the billion dollar company but the way its scaling I believe most of the things will run on automation, few with the help of agentforce (those who can afford agentforce) jobs will be less (specific to skillset only like sfmc, health cloud)

I also agree with you. Agentforce adaptability is not in a good shape. I also came from Mainframe background initially. When I came to Salesforce it was a hot skill, I also feel now a days the product invention in Salesforce is not in good shape, competitor are doing better. When I joined citi, management was aggressive to expand Salesforce team. Then management changed and new management wants Salesforce team to work in AI solution as they see us as a tech resources, not constraints to a particular technical skills. It's time to learn core AI and deliver as per management expectations.
