Dynamics 365 people who have been through a cutover.
FERG Search is a specialist recruiter for Dynamics 365 consultants, developers, solution architects and programme leads in Australia and New Zealand, across Customer Engagement, Finance and Operations, Field Service and Contact Center. Permanent and contract, run by the founder from Melbourne.

What the seat pays.
Dynamics 365 briefs stall when a senior consultant's band is attached to an architect's job description.
Dynamics 365 CE solution architect: $175k to $210k. Sydney. Contract $1,100 to $1,300 a day.
Dynamics 365 F&O solution architect: $195k to $230k. Sydney. Contract $1,200 to $1,450 a day.

Dynamics 365 CE and Power Platform senior consultant: $155k to $180k. Sydney. Contract $950 to $1,150 a day.
Finance and Operations architects sit about $20k above Customer Engagement architects, and a blended ERP and CRM band hides that. Permanent figures are base salary excluding super. Contract figures are per day excluding GST. Sydney unless stated; Melbourne generally runs 4% to 6% lower, and where a Melbourne band is shown, that band applies.

Yes, permanent and contract across Australia and New Zealand. The Salary Guide works through the break-even between a day rate and a salary like for like, base plus 12% super against a day rate excluding GST. Contract buys speed. Permanent buys memory.
Do you recruit Dynamics 365 roles for Microsoft partners and end users?
Both. Partner consultants move in house after a go-live, and in house leads move back to partners for variety, so the two sides share one pool. Knowing who is where, and what they were paid to move, is most of the search.
