SEs who love working with their AEs - would you move employers with them? I’ve seen people do this in Finance, consulting and a number of other fields, but I’m not sure about Sales Engineering.

There is only one AE that I work with that I would follow to another organization, but I would absolutely go with them if they left.

No way. I have 4 AEs. I’m not going to completely change organizations and take a gamble on a new culture, boss, teammates, and other AEs for one AE.

That being said, I would follow a good boss.

No, I don't think so. Listen, I like some of them and totally respect their knowledge and skills, but I don't think I would throw away whatever I have going on just to chase working with them. Maybe if we talked about it beforehand and the opportunity made sense for whatever reason.

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
