Has anyone invested in TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities) before? I’m considering opening an account for my children and have read something about interests from TIPS can be exempted from federal income tax if used for higher education. What’s the pros and cons of investing in 529 vs TIPS? TYIA!

SalesForce folks, a recruiter reached out for an opportunity to interview for a AE position in my specialty. I noticed there is also an opp available locally for a Strategic Account Manager in my vertical as well.
Any one know of pay difference between the two, responsibilities/expectations, how they are viewed in the org itself?
I understand they are different but in my job today, I handle both roles so can go in either direction.
Appreciate any input.
