Ha-I made the opposite switch. AE->Consulting. Feel free to DM

Look at pre sales or solutions engineer type roles as a first step. But if there’s a services sales role there and not just product sales that would be a pretty easy transition.

Similar to ADP I did the opposite, was at VMware and went to consulting.

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?
