What's a good exit opportunity for a Salesforce developer with 3 years of experience? Making $130k base at a consulting company and feeling done with both consulting and Salesforce development, but mostly consulting. I have a CS degree and development management experience, so I feel I am qualified for technical middle-management. What are some roles/companies in industry I could consider?

You can make way more money as a software engineer at pretty much any tech company. I know Apex/Lightning is mostly Java/JS so you’d probably need some other languages on your resume as well but it’d be a good route to consider.

A consulting tech lead role isn’t super hard to get if you’re great at what you do. OP I would try going for an engineering role but a 300-400k SWE role at FAANG is a lot harder to get than a SFDC development role.

Leaving consulting should be super easy, companies will be lining up to interview you. The harder transition would be away from Salesforce. One option to consider would be working as a Salesforce developer at a company and transitioning away from Salesforce work within the same company. I’ve personally had conversations with people who have done that at Zillow, Compass, and Wayfair.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
