I hope you like going to dinner every night away from your family... Kidding of course, but really depends on the sales job
Don't undermine this thought, no matter how much you're joking.
I got the "it's just been a lot lately" talk yesterday. And it has.
I co-founded a company 2.5 years ago. I drive 70% of our sales and new business development. I love it and many times it doesn't feel like work when I'm on the road 2-3 days at a time 2-3 times a month. I would have been home more and far more miserable if I was still working my Fortune 500 sales job. But that shite wears on you at home. And it certainly wears on your wife and kids.

You didnt take a sales role. You took up being an Entrepeneur. There's a massive difference between the two. You may take a client to dinner occasionally, go out of town on a hunting trip or two in sales, but most of these large companies now have rules about what can be accepted during a sales "call". One of our largest customers can no longer accept meals from salesman larger than $35. It's no longer this wine and dine job that takes up 75% of your time.
