The Salesforce job market has shifted, and in this video I break down what “good” looks like in 2026 using results from our latest annual salary survey. We pulled insights from 2,300+ respondents across 76 countries and 17 industries, then packaged the key takeaways into a simple infographic so you can quickly see how your pay stacks up. I focus on the US median salaries for intermediate vs. senior roles, because that’s where the cleanest comparisons show up. We walk role-by-role: Admins are still the backbone (median $92k intermediate, $109k senior), Developers continue to evolve with AI-assisted coding (median $120k intermediate, $140k senior), and Consultants show one of the biggest jumps from intermediate to senior ($99,750 to $135,500). I also cover Business Analysts ($99k to $107.5k), Solution Architects ($150k to $165k), and why Technical Architects consistently top the compensation charts (US median $192,500). Beyond roles, I highlight how location, company type, and even certification count correlate with pay (from $105k with zero certs up to $185k with 21+), plus what people prioritize when moving jobs—often balancing cash against flexibility and work-life balance.
