Currently a sales engineer at a tech company. We went through multiple reorgs and the job responsibilities changed from presales to all around pre & post sales. Trying to gauge whether the workload is typical

How much post sales vs. presales work do you typically do? Like attend cadence calls, QBR, answer qq on features and implementation, collect consumption data, chase support tickets, feature requests etc throughout the year due to renewals

How many accounts do you support?

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
