I’ve been a Salesforce developer for the past 8 years. I find myself as a developer in a world of business folks. Development/coding standards, designs are never prioritized, rather it’s about making money.
I’m curious to gauge to communities opinion around leaving SFDC development and going to pure software development.
- long term salary differences?
- enjoyment of work?
YOE: 8
TC: 170k

Transitioning to “regular” dev will take time. Realistically a year with a daily grind of LC, design, and developing non-lightning, non-apex, non-soql expertise.
With 8 YOE it may be smarter to push further into SF tech.
But follow what your heart desires.
FAANG has SF teams too, paying $300k for IC.
Regular devs pull more long term. Peaking at 500k for the most part.
I’ve been trying to look at how to up my TC from $160k to $250k and it looks improbable as a Salesforce dev. And I also hate being so close to the business and want to build cool stuff instead.
Will companies not consider me for the roles because of the Salesforce background?
