SWE comp will probably higher initially but lower long term. Cloud consulting comp may be lower initially but higher long term.

Of course this goes with the assumption that you are willing to do sales as a cloud consultant. Either by making partner and selling cloud implementation services at a consulting firm or joining a AWS/GCP/Azure in a sales role.

Yeah you don’t need to worry about it too much until you hit SC or M. Honestly sales inconsulting isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. You aren’t selling cars
