The move from pre-sales to sales doesn’t have to be a one-way door, and Eric’s career path is a great example of that.
He got his start in go-to-market as a Solutions Architect, after being headhunted by the vendor of a product he'd implemented internally.

If you came into pre-sales f…
For a lot of SEs, management looks like the obvious next step. After all, it's what progression is meant to look like.

As an SE, you're the one delivering the demo and getting the credit. As a leader, …
If you're an SE who's dreamed of running your own business, AI's made it easier than ever, and your role's already given you a head start.
