re: People who work in sales: how do you like it?

I fricking love it. I was in pharma advertising account management for 17 years and was making really good money, but finally got burned out (as everyone in the agency world does). Was able to parlay that experience into a digital sales/content marketing role in the pharma/healthcare space, and my quality of life has improved by 100%, this year I'll make about 3x what I made my last year at the agency, my boss doesn't know the first thing about selling so he leaves me alone, my phone rarely rings, and I can spend the bulk of my day doing what I need to do to be successful. It's on me, and I'm no longer beholden to 10 other people doing their jobs to succeed.
