"I also don't want to be in sales" -- have you too narrowly defined sales? From reading your description, it seems quite a natural area for you to be, in the capacity of a Sales Consultant / Sales Engineer / etc... You can be the technical leg of a sales team and do very well. There are a lot of companies out there that would exercise your talents in a role like this. I would go the enterprise software route. Often, your duties will be varied - from doing presentations to groups of various sizes, to networking at trade shows, to doing some programming to proof out a concept for a prospect. You can tailor your job search such that you do more of one vs the other. For example, if you don't like programming (at all), then look more on the hardware side or sys admin type of products. If you want more hands-on in the tech, and are fond of SQL or something like that, look to the big db companies. If you want more programming, look at ERP/CRM/???? Just my two cents. Best!
