Are there sales jobs right now in tech, or is the tech sales market still a garbage fire?

Funny but more concerning a VP of Sales labels it as such

So, I currently work CS for a rather popular game capture company. I don’t do sales per se but I do rmas, refunds, etc.

Yes, it’s a dumpster fire…..

So not in sales. Not in tech. But you know.

I'm hiring....none of you, but hiring nonetheless.

“There are 2 openings for every candidate out there.” Yet, employers want you to go through 10 interviews, give a fake presentation, build a business plan while hiring Managers don’t respond, ghost or reschedule, and then tell you your qualifications didn’t match. Why is the hiring process so broken??
