I'm feeling a bit negative about this may be because of all the hate TAMs receive, but is TAM a fit for me? What do they do anyways?
L'il about me:
6+ years of mgmt consulting experience with Microsoft tech (O365, Exchange, SfB, Win 10) and Accenture business model. Early years were tech heavy and hands-on like building servers and migrating users on-site. But career has progressed pretty well where I'm now doing Change and Release Mgmt for large enterprise infra projects.
I've got base certs for aws and azure as well, with minimal hands on.
Strong ppl mgmt, process improvement, tech rollout experience.
TC: 115k
YoE: 6

TAMs do not manage cases anymore and they are on the hook for Premier Core Billed revenue (support) and Office 365/M365 and Azure consumption.
They are in sales. There is no concept for "hours" in Unified Support. If you don't know what you're talking about shut up.
You learn a lot through interview process, and may find out that TAM is not for you. Or what are the gaps you need to fill in etc.
Most are duds.
