The other departments are arguably more so. Law, sales, finance, marketing.

Have you never worked in an organization that survived off of outside sales and employed really, really good sales teams? Of all the departments listed, engineering included, sales would probably be the last one I would consider a commodity.

  • If it's b2b SaaS sales is probably more important than engineering. If you're designing flight control software it isn't.
