Is sales engineering / solutions consulting a possible career path for someone without a degree in comp sci or a technical background? Do I just need to get into a junior SE/SC role at a solid tech company like Salesforce or ServiceNow? Or am i basically screwed because I don’t have a technical background?

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is. My vp is super anal about anything we do. I understand these guys pull in huge commissions and bonuses that’s why they are so motivated. However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?

Recruiter for big tech company reached out on LinkedIn about a role. I asked about ballpark compensation numbers and they said they’re only comfortable sharing on a live call.

Is this a red flag?

What are some good ways to get into management?
I am an individual contributor with ~8 years of experience and a strong track record. I enjoy my work, but am getting a little burnt out being directly customer facing.

What can I do to position myself for this?

Honest advice please - do you enjoy this work, and why?
