Are there any tech sales jobs worth looking into these days in Austin Texas? Currently a consultant — I find the work boring and I hate the hours. Last two weeks was near constant 12hr days. My managers work even worse hours it seems.

Zero desire to continue on this path.

I live near the Oracle campus. But wouldn’t might working at a small SaaS start up or something. Is this a beyond stupid idea?

I’m very extroverted and think I’d do well.

No reason to consider that a stupid idea, it sounds like something worth looking into. I mean, a lot of big moves in life begin as something that could be called a stupid idea. I don't know about Austin, but you might as well put out feelers and ask around and do some research on what might be available. If it seems feasible and you get serious about making a pivot you'll make it happen.

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
