What should I request as a salary for a remote Salesforce Consultant position? I have 5 YOE with Salesforce as an “accidental” admin. I haven’t gotten the admin cert yet but I am going to schedule that and take care of it soon. TIA.

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.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
