I understand there’s some jest in this expression but I strongly object. I work tuning queries and doing that awful database shit yall dread and I find a lot of fulfillment in supporting devs and providing a better user experience.
I can guarantee you I’d be stuck in the deepest depths of depression if I tried a career in sales. Job satisfaction is high enough a priority for me that I’m currently wrestling with my dumbass PE overlords to stop trying to bankrupt our company even as they underpay me by an embarrassing amount.
