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.
