[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DOD sales for AWS. $400k, and yes, the job can feel like its taking over your life. Stock grant that was initially 100K is now worth 400K. RSU's do take absurdly long to vest, but 401k growing like wildfire as they grant stock as part of their company match. [/quote]

Did you transition to sales from engineering or were you always in sales?[/quote]

Always sales. Have a team of engineers. [/quote]

Sales person here. Lets clear up the term "engineer ". I too have a team of "engineers" they are sales engineers, so not real engineers. They are basically overlays with a deeper technical understanding and better social skills and much better physical and verbal presentation than real engineers. Quite a few of them can and do transition into Account Manager roles.[/quote]
I'm sorry- do you work at AWS?  If not no one cares. [/quote]

NP, but i just showed this thread to my DH who is a federal DM over at AWS and he said this is 100% correct. Nothing is being engineered by sales engineers.[/quote]
