Hey everyone I’m a new graduate with a bs in industrial and systems engineering currently looking around for full time opportunities. One role that caught my eye is sales engineering. I wanted to ask for opinions on this career path in terms of pay and career progression. Does it have good exit opportunities? What does the career growth typically look like for this role? And if anyone with a similar education could tell me what career path you chose and why! Any advice would be much appreciated!

Ever gotten into it with a creative teammate that had a toxic attitude?

Poll. Your current job pays you $135k. Respectable company. However, your manager sucks. Isn’t approachable, judgmental and no training or guidance provided (industry is very niche). New projects keep coming at you with not enough time to focus on all of them. Also have 8 direct reports but they behave like children and don’t always come through in terms of work. Benefits and time off is excellent. Exceeds expectations performance is required by the manager. Would you stay or find another gig?
