It is. But 50% of the time people will phone in damages they accuse us of having caused. (fish tanks that broke 5 blocks away) or generally being crybabys.

Really? In my company the next step from this is Vice-President, followed by CFO. If they didn't think they were executive material, why would they take this career path?
After my recent life lessons, I've realized that we really do make our own paths… to go from a piss-on laborer to a district manager in 3 years was pretty good, I'd imagine that a creative and intuitive sales director can make some pretty gigantic leaps. Americans are going to be extinct soon.

My boss likes it. And the long hours thing is a choice at the level of a corporate director. You're on call all the time, but most things can be handled between 9 and 5… except in budget season.
I spent three years as sales manager for a multi million dollar company. I made enough to pay off my house in that time, and damn near lost my marbles due to travel, stress, and answering to a boss who had no fucking clue what the market was doing. I think that's where the unhappiness comes from. Also, engineers really got under my skin.

I wouldn't be so quick to make that judgment based on a marketing exercise put on by CareerBliss…
Also, engineers really got under my skin.
Amen.

Being a CNC machinist I think it's one of the top ten best jobs. Just sayin

yeah. it's such a drag when people inform you of actual reality.

:lol: at that… once had an engineer design hanging doors with aluminum wheels in an aluminum track. The friction was so great the (very large) doors wouldn't move… from this single experience 8 years ago, I've extrapolated that engineers know nothing.

Does not compute.
Typical engineer response, "we are the most important people here!"
Go cry on your calculator, strahan. Sales trumps all other others. We make the money, while you come up with new ways to make our jobs harder.

typical self-important attitude of a good sales person. actually i've always worked to keep teams horizontal with the technical people close to the end-user (outside customer) and production/manufacturing (inside customers).
Of course, a great sales person recognizes that by respecting their team [HTML_REMOVED] making reasonable project goals while not over-promising and under-delivering the whole organization achieves greater things.
