Where is the real money at? I have SWE (non Salesforce) friends that are making 400k TC. It seems the average architect only makes 200k. For the level of responsibility, that's almost pitiful... I have SWE friends who are individual contributors that make that. I'm a senior Salesforce developer making 150k in NYC. What's my ceiling as a dev?

Which company?

SWEs at big tech are an exception, not the norm for technical roles. I’d actually wager the availability of those roles start to dwindle as AI advances. SWEs will have to become more specialized and increase their skill sets to remain relevant and command those types of salaries.

Salesforce architect ceiling is at 250-280k irrespective of how many years you add to experience. If you ever want to make 400k and above, switch to SWE.
