There’s a reason you never see posts like: “My jump from BD to software engineer”

I’ve never met a sales person as broadly capable as your average engineer.

The curse of competence is organizational as well

Customer relationships are certainly more important in some categories than others but sales is certainly key in a lot of B2B organizations.
