Cybersecurity - Enterprise Sales Engineer, where to go next?
Hi I've been a sales engineer for a fairly long time at tenable. It's been over 4 years and I'm ready for my next jump. I'm currently in cloud security but have previous experience at CrowdStrike and proofpoint. Current salary $165,000 base, $55,000 commissions, $80,000 sticks vested over 4 years where I've received all and am ready to cash out. I want to jump to another company in the cybersecurity space, wouldn't mind a startup. What companies would you recommend that I look into that would allow me to make the same TC if not more? I am also interested in management now that I'm 30 and I actually feel very well prepared to be a good manager (have management experience). Thanks.
Check out Wiz.
You can easily make more than that at any of the larger Cybersecurity vendors. Head to RSA this week, and virtually anyone with a booth on the main floor will pay their engineers more than that. A lot more for higher level principal, distinguished etc.
I'm 27 and don't think I'm quite there for principal levels of SE. I want to stay in Enterprise or majors but also have 4 years of management experience so I'm really interested in managing a team but again not enough experience to really apply as an external candidate.
Panw has a lot of sales eng openings.
What's the salary gonna look like?
