Probably doesn’t hurt. Plus, if you decide to go this route, tableau certifications are outrageously easy to get

Sorry but excel , PowerPoint are NOT technical skills in my opinion. Yes tableau would be a good idea or any other reporting tool.

Curious to hear thoughts on this too

Product Management (CSPO) or Scrum Master (CSM) training/certification could be helpful, and not overly expensive or difficult to obtain.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
