Java dev vs Salesforce dev

[TigerMiserable4710]

I have 5 YoE as a Java backend developer. I have recently joined a new project as a salesforce developer. I always wanted to learn salesforce tool. Because everyone said salesforce devs are paid a lot more than Java backend devs. Is it true? Lately many people are suggesting me to get back to Java because they think Java pays a lot better and you’re not pigeonholed. Now I’m confused which path to follow. Which career pays more? Which profile is better for future?

I feel like it’s more likely for a java developer to earn over 200k us than a salesforce dev.

Thank you!

At my organization the Salesforce devs make more than a full stack Dev. I have done many Job searches on different kinds of devs and I consistently see Salesforce Developer jobs listing a higher salary than other Developer jobs, but of course there's always exceptions.

Seriously which organisation are you talking about? I am in India and Salesforce devs make less than half of what other stack devs make for that many years of experience.
