Switching companies as a solution/pre sales consultant

I recently changed careers into presales consulting at a SaaS company (not oracle) and love it so far. I’m curious though, when it’s time to leave how is onboarding for this role with a new company/product?
My company spends months training us on product. For anyone who has switched, has your new company made sure you have enough time to get comfortable with product? Especially curious if anyone has done this at FAANG.
For those wondering about the role, I’m talking product demo, scoping, value selling, and solutioning prior to closing a sale.
TC: 100k
YOE: 2

I really hope you’re not in the Bay Area or NYC with that TC. I talked to a lot of companies before accepting the role at MongoDB (I wasn’t interested in FAANG because I wanted to go somewhere smaller) and there was a huge range in pay (from $80k OTE at a startup to more than double that at Mongo). Also make sure you find a place that offers RSU’s or equity. It’s not as common as you think in sales roles
