Career Paths & Pay Scales of Solution Engineers/Architects

Does anyone here have experience in a solution-based role? And more specifically, how that role plays out over the course of 10-15 years?

I'm interested in this career path bc I don't want to do pure programming for the rest of my life. As a new grad soon, I'm also worried about pigeon-holing myself into a low-growth career path. I recognize that commissions from tech sales can vary widely with the ceiling being very high, but I am more interested in Palantir-type roles where I am not selling, but implementing/designing/developing/architecting.

Thanks!
