What are your career goals/skills you want to build? For most tech, I’d recommend getting into pre-sales type of roles.

Is it easy to switch from post sales aka something like customer success to pre sales?

What occurs Pre-Sales, like proposal development work? I joined consulting right out of college, have experience implementing Salesforce across the project lifecycle. Looking into what a good path in industry would be to look into.

Pre-sales: Hunt for net-new revenue, cold calls, outreach, negotiate contracts. Quota driven commission pay structure.

Post-sale: Change/project management, adoption, renewals. Usually have some sort of bonus pay structure.

Its harder to go from post to pre-sale because it requires different skill sets and ultimately sales people live and die by their quota. Hiring managers usually prefer people who have quota carrying experience. It’s really down to what skill sets align with your personal career goals.
