If you don't mind saying, what is "highly paid" in this context? I have no concept of what sales people make compared to SWEs. How much (if any) pay cut would I be looking at if I took this route?
- Demonsult 6y agoI made almost 50% more this year. Also, the bonuses flow in continuously instead of once per year.
- oedoedxef 6y agoPffffffft I am resisting my natural tendency to get very angry at reading this. Sales is a profession where the top 1% of earners are like lottery winners and the bottom 99% of earners are like customer service. In software engineering, the gains are much more equally distributed and the contribution to society is more valuable.
- Demonsult 6y agoKeep in mind that sales engineers usually have a good sized base salary, unlike pure sales people. With that comes a smaller commission than sales people. As for contribution to society, I don't agree. The big winners is software make some pretty toxic stuff.
