BRB guys , I need some Steve Dangle demon real quick . <| sep |> Lots of interesting opinions and much respect to the posters . For your information , I have been in tech sales leadership for 20 years . Worked at Oracle by way of an acquisition and ran one of their software sales divisions . Left for another entrepreneurial role after I cashed out my options . Here ' s the reality . If you want to break into tech sales , there is no better place to cut your teeth than Oracle . They have arguably the best sales training program in tech IBM , Cisco , etc included . Is it a fun place ? Not unless you ' re making a lot of money which many reps do . Even then it ' s still not fun . Oracle is a law firm that happens to sell software . Lots of minutiae . However , if you can break in and get 24 years under your belt the world is your oyster . Oracle is the gateway to a tech sales role anywhere . Places like Salesforce , Microsoft , and Workday hire reps based on the Oracle business card . Why ? Simple . Oracle reps are well trained , understand sales process , and know how to get into accounts . It will give you a ton of street cred to go through the Oracle system . Netnet , if you are offered the job take it . Don ' t think twice . Take it . You need to build your personal brand , and an opportunity at Oracle can help . Your bank account will thank you later . Good luck and good selling !
