I am an IT architect with 10 years of experience specifically in Salesforce products. I am thinking of moving from a strategy consulting role to an architecture role in Salesforce (company) itself. I have experience building tech strategies and also technical project delivery.

Wondering if it makes sense to apply for an Enterprise Architect (pre-sales) or a Senior Technical Architect role??

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

I’m an SE, but the architect role sounds like it would be a good fit for your skill set. The people i know I’m those roles seem pretty happy (and are very helpful to me). Let me know if you want a referral.

It’s a similar role, but much more technical. And I’m not sure if all orgs work this way, but SEs are typically tied to accounts and architects are brought into opps as needed.
