On point! And so begins the large IT company lifecycle... - Those hundreds of sales engineers weave a spaggeti junction of pseudo products around the core application to suit the whims of the C-level clients and their buzzwords of the month - The company gets frustrated when this begins to break down leading to sales delays and embarks on a disasterous rearchitect which pits the sales engineers (microservices!) and core engineers against each other. - The sales delays lead to cost cutting and the old guard make a timely exit with a nice package. The laid off sales engineers get a better gig due to the buzzwords on the cv. - At some stage in the old guard are brought back to maintain the old core that is still running the company, but now charge a hefty consultant rate.
