    I’m in a similar situation.
    I have 3years of work ex as Salesforce Developer. I worked in India for Accenture, Salesforce.
    I’m currently pursuing Masters in US in a Data Analytics focused program.
    I’m confused if I should take Data Analytics/Science career path or Software Engineering/Development path or Salesforce Developer path?

    My previous work ex in Salesforce will help me to land mid level/senior positions in Salesforce Development career. If I go for Software Engineer/Developer or Data career, I should start New grad/Entry level opportunities.
    But again, if I have to take Software Engineering or Data related career path, I can do that only in the next 1 year before I graduate, because once I start working, it is almost impossible to switch domains.

    I like Salesforce Development. I came for a masters degree to explore Data Analytics/Science and software engineering.
    Both careers are rewarding.
    But I have to decide which path to take in the next few months. I just don’t want to regret later and would like to hear any opinions and experiences who have been in similar situations.

    110k in the bay feels low in general, maybe it’s par for that title though
