I love building products and show casing them to potential customers. Inching to travel for work again. Which companies/roles would involve lots of travel for eng/product folks.

TC: 250k

  • Trust me, as someone that traveled for work, it's not the same as traveling for leisure. You often don't even stay in a place for that long, you're tired due to timezone fuckups, etc. Just take a nice vacation instead, or find a remote job you can digital nomad with.

      OP
      Will the TC be similar to dev/product?

    • It is a very broad question, depends on what you consider to be “dev/product”. Usually it may be less than SWE but they are technically still engineers, so comp should be comparable to general eng. roles. Some of them may even carry a variable income tied to the quota of their Sales region/account exec (think commission).

    Business travel sucks usually. Not that I have done it, but I’m guessing they’d want you to visit 3 different countries in 4 days

      My life is too boring right now. I have kinda grown out of coding and would love to get into business side of things.

      Business side of things is a vague term. If you’re good at sales and that’s what you wanna do and make money off of the commissions, go for it. Some ppl do really well in sales

    Exactly. Your business traveling may not include Hawaii or Aspen. It could easily be sending you to a data center in the Midwest, where you are stuck for 2-3 months with little else to do there in your off time
