I used to work at Oracle as a Sales Consultant, and while life was always miserable by end of quarter I really loved what I did. Ever since I left I pivoted my career to software/data engineering and now architecture, but I always have this desire to come back… I guess I miss the adrenaline of closing a deal 😅

My current total comp is £200k (based in the UK). How does that compare to the average total comp for a sales engineer in big tech nowadays? Let’s say L5 at Google and similar

I am IC4 SE at Oracle and make TC 125k€ in Western Europe. I would probably make a little bit more in other companies.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year.

It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
