I'm feeling a little underappreciated. I've been the solo-admin for over 12 years now and handling everything from Sales Cloud to Marketing Cloud on my own with next to no budget. I can even honestly say I've been happy to get up in the morning and work. However, I recently tried to rework the job position structure in order to move my pay band to a decent level, and I'm being railroaded. I'm wondering what other higher education schools pay their Salesforce administrators.

Get out there and hit the job market. There is so much you know and so many places who can use your experience. I would consider a consulting firm for 1-2 years to round out your experience and then you can decide if you want to go back to an admin position anywhere you want!

What’s your base currently? Where do you want to go? There’s typically a market rate for an admin so that would be your metric. 12 years is a lot of time to be a solo admin at same place.

Woof, yeah. Higher Ed is notorious for underpaying, but 63 is more like a brand new admin fresh off the cert.

Check out Booz Allen. I think they are constantly looking for experienced SF talent. DM if you’re interested in a referral. I have a few friends over there.

With cross-platform experience (Marketing Cloud no less!!!) you should be making minimum 120k

You could be making 200k or more as an SE or TA with that much Salesforce experience.

I was making 70K as a SF admin in higher ed - with 2 yrs of experience
