I am currently a manager at Accenture in the product owner space looking to make a career change. I noticed my Salesforce dev friend is making similar money to me but does freelancing on the side and is extremely successful (pays double more than his salary). It took him two years to get to that point. I want to mimic my friends freelancing track but with a focus on microsoft power platform. Do you all think this is something that is feasible and can possibly scale if I spend time on it?Accenture Deloitte

Take my advice with a grain of salt but I think power platform is still maturing and may not have as many freelancing opportunities as salesforce. Salesforce is in huge demand with a lot more focus areas compared to power platform.

Combine power platform with some other competencies like maybe some Azure services like functions and it's a good kind of side hustle. I do general cloud computing stuff and dev work on the side. Clients never pay what they would pay a big firm, but it can definitely be worth it if you have the time / connections

My contract is ending 12/31/22 and can’t be extended legally according to our CFO. Worked in various increasingly responsible roles at the same organization as a FT employee in IT for 17 years and then took a buyout and chilled doing side gigs for 18 months then came back as temporary contract staff for the last 3.8 years as Business Analyst and Technical Writer. Curious to know if I’m being unreasonable in expecting my next Senior BA role to pay in the $110-130k range in the DC Metro Area.
