Salesforce Solution architect with 13 yrs IT experience. Currently making $150k in low cost city. If I look for a change, what salary range should I target for?

What's your Salesforce experience (years on platform; broad vs deep; hot domain knowledge like SFMC, CPQ, Commerce, etc) and how technical are you? H1B or no? Do you lead the delivery project to completion? And what is your travel like?

$150K is low for a TA who carries a project end-to-end. You probably could get a sizeable bump if you have enterprise architecture experience. And even more if you have significant technical chops. Also depends on the size of your clients. One-off projects are not as valuable in terms of compensation as large program leadership, for example. Specialized domain knowledge (eg FSI or manufacturing, IoT, marketing, etc) will also be boosters.

You can google “cost of living salary change” and find tons of calculators if you’re just looking for city to city. Also agree with Magnet360 1 on all of the things they asked

MC1, not sure that cost if living is that much of a factor, except for setting personal expectations. Most consulting jobs commute, and a lot of non-commute SF jobs are mostly if not entirely remote. I haven't seen a huge difference in salary for instance between NYC/SFO and Detroit or Cleveland. If anything, industry knows they need to attract talent so may offer a slight premium over market to move to smaller cities.

@Cognizant OP - What's your title in Cognizant? Manager?

@Pwc1 it’s SM. Hard to be at $150k at M level

@Cognizant OP - are you open to commute? FYI - Looks like at Deloitte and PwC, M in Salesforce is ~120-160k.
