I’ll be blunt and say I’d be surprised if a consultancy even looked at you without at least one cert. As Salesforce partners, we get judged and ranked by amount, type and complexity of certs we have on our staff. If a firm does offer you anything, they’re going to lowball it because of the above and it’s likely going to be a hard stipulation that you get it within X days or else.
Don’t underestimate the admin cert. It’s a ton of content, likely things you’ve never directly touched.
The market right now is very saturated and it depends on the exact area you’re looking to get into. Assuming your run-of-the-mill Sales/Service cloud type work, (Not CPQ or anything more specialized) at a new Associate level I’d expect around 75-90k ish. Your mileage may vary from company to company and area to area.
