No one wants to be known as a salesman when they’re an engineer.
So, that’s why sales engineers get a 30% pay increase over the best engineer. Because sales engineers have sales in the title and a set of skills that many educated engineers won’t learn, they get significantly extra pay.
Doing well at sales earns you a lot. Doing good engineering work, pays you a lot also. Finding a person who does both requires the employer to pay a premium.
