It certainly puts a ceiling on a career. And I'd argue it probably gave him a pretty rough shelf life. At some point he has to understand what he's doing.
Unless he's so good at selling his services he can consistently find new clients. And if that's the case, he'd probably kill it in sales.
- fragmede 2y agosales engineer is quite a lucrative career. don't have to be really good at it, just enough to be useful.
- snoxy 2y agoSales engineers have to be good enough to bluff their way through the layers of hyperbole/minor exaggeration/utter bullshit (delete as applicable) the sales team have spun. Whether their conscience gets involved before the deal closes, different question.

Then, after they close the deal, they give us their half implemented feature they developed that none of us heard about before, and tell ys that we need to finish it and include it in the next release.
