How are you not making bank as a web developer? When I worked in the USA I was making 6 figures (think of $140k/year) working through an agency that works fully remote. The beauty of it is that autodidacts are the norm and nobody requires any certifications, and nobody requires an education except maybe to make it easier to land your first job.

Currently I'm back home in the Netherlands making €95/hour or about €13.680 per month or about €164.160 per year which is about $200k US dollars at the moment of writing.

Salesforce is a product that will be replaced by others or better ones over time. It'll come with endless required certifications and, let's be honest, is being in a vendor-locked world going to be fun or GOOD for your career?

At least as a web developer you focus on open-source standards that are free for all to use and free to learn about. You will naturally evolve with future developments.
