Would you be willing to tell me more about your path to account executive and sales? I am considering such a path myself and it would be wonderful to talk with someone whose done this.

I hope you like being on call and having to tell management why you're not hitting your number and "forecasting" your way to close the gap.
I also hope you like golf! And drinking!
There can be UNREAL amounts of drinking as an AE.
You'll also be on a plane A LOT. The folks in suits and sneakers waiting first in line to board with their roller bags? Almost all of them are AEs.
Most of your customers will see you as a walking credit card.
You can also make 6+-figure commission checks and deep friendships if the deals are right, so there's that.
