Sales people have it the best; they are partially responsible for creating market bubbles by overpromising results/features in order to get sales... Then when the bubble which they created reaches popping point, stock prices collapse and companies go bankrupt; engineers lose all their stock options but sales people are fine because they already got their commissions. Overpromising allows them to get all the upside and none of the downside. The only downside is that sales gets more competitive at the peak of the bubble; so it's harder to get those big commissions.
