An independent, anonymous look at what the Italian Salesforce ecosystem actually pays — and what it thinks about its future. One hundred and eighty-five people sat down, answered 47 questions honestly, and handed us something rare: a ground-level snapshot of salaries, career paths, working conditions, and market sentiment inside the Italian Salesforce ecosystem. No PR filter. No employer branding. Just data. This is what they told us. All results (in Italian) can be found here . Last year results can be found here . DISCLAIMER : With 185 respondents, this survey is not statistically representative of the Italian Salesforce ecosystem as a whole. The sample is self-selected — people who heard about the survey, cared enough to complete it, and fell within the community’s reach. Findings should be read as directional signals rather than precise measurements, and interpreted with appropriate caution when drawing broad conclusions.
