Looking for some advice.. do you think moving from an Account Manager role in SMB Cloud Sales at Oracle to an Enterprise Digital Sales Specialist role at Microsoft could be perceived as a step down in terms of career progression?

Enterprise will always be perceived as a step up from SMB. Not to mention, Oracle Cloud is way behind Microsoft, so I’d perceive that as a step up in terms of market positioning.

Enterprise tier accounts are more highly matrixed/complex to sell into, longer sales cycles, and often greater exposure to a wider range of C level executives vs what youve experienced in SMB…so you’ll probably still have some good learning curve and it would position you to move into an Ent. AE in cloud sales focused role later on if digital doesn’t keep your interest

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations
