Pre or Post-Sales... Is the grass greener? I.e. Solutions consultant/sales engineer (pre-sale) VS. customer success manager/solutions architect (which can be either)? By greener, I mean career trajectory prospects, earning potential, future viability to move in other roles, and overall stress / WLB? I am asking this as someone relatively junior still with 3+ YOE in management consulting who is looking to shift into a sales adjacent role. I qualify for more CS roles bc I’m not as technical.

Sales is always higher reward but more risky. Depends on what type of person and skills you have. More ups and downs with sales roles but then again you het more perks like more fancy dinners, events, trips, gifts, etc.
