AI Thread Summary
A Sales Engineer is a technically-trained professional, typically with an undergraduate degree in engineering, who functions as a sales representative. Their role often involves bridging the gap between technical product knowledge and customer needs, making them essential in engineering and technology-driven companies. However, there are concerns about the effectiveness of engineers transitioning into sales roles, with some suggesting that this shift may not always be beneficial.
