Re:Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year by jakeydus on Thursday September 18, 2025 @12:14PM (#45291450)
I did it for a few years after I graduated. It paid about a 10% premium over what other dev jobs in the area paid, and you never had to do anything super technically challenging, but you were pretty much at the whims of the sales org without any kind of product management in place. Plus the owner of the stack you worked with was openly antagonistic to the fact that developers had to be involved at all, even though all of their "no-code" tools introduced complexity that required developers to be involved as soon as you did anything more interesting than whatever was in the demo.

So yeah I made some money but I'd die before I was a salesforce dev again.

In my sample size of 2, this is always the case no matter where you work where the majority of revenue is derived by sales.
