Account Executives: Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services or Microsoft?

Compgauge has all of these in the top 11 for their best companies for tech sales rankings (ranked 8, 9, and 11 respectively). They all look to pay roughly the same ($300k+) per compgauge...

Background: Currently an enterprise AE, 12 years experience. Want to break into Big 3 cloud providers.

Is one of these 3 the clear cut best option for AE’s? Would be happy with any tbh.

Microsoft > Google > AWS in my opinon!

Thanks!

I recruit cloud sales at AWS. I have worked for Google and I turned down an offer from Microsoft.
It can be tricky to get into AWS cloud sales without prior cloud sales experience, but not always. The roles I work on require it for the most part… But there are several teams here that are able to train the gap. If you don't have cloud experience and struggle to get traction at AWS or Google, I would recommend starting at Microsoft because you'll learn a ton!! You'll get exposure to the clients and verticals needed to start digging into legacy systems and understanding what those clients need for their digital cloud transformation. Once you understand what they're working with, and you start to understand the lift it takes to get them to the cloud, google and AWS will value that highly!!

At some point this market is likely to slow down. Do you see that coming soon?

If pay is the same, I'd look for best culture and WLB. I'd say Google, then Microsoft, then AWS

Gotcha thanks

Wow - congrats on the offers! I'd go with Google if it were me. Best overall for culture, from what I've heard.
