Lol - I agree. My job is just to sell the idea. Once the idea is sold we schedule another zoom with a "cyber engineer" this is where we answer all the technical questions etc.
My job is to just reach out to CISOs via cold calling, schedule a zoom meeting, pitch the brand and convince them on a 30-day trial. If they move forward then we do the sizing call with CE
As long as you enjoy sales as your career i wouldn't switch.
I've worked sales for years as well and I know there's definitely a lot of stress that comes with it. I sold directv in store before and thats like maximum stress lol.
The 6 month bootcamps usually have a part time learning option available and with how much you make you could easily afford it.
I'd recommend that if you wanna learn as much as you can in a shorter period.

You might want to pick up algorithms and data structures, as these topics are almost always tested in interviews. Google gives this website to prospects to prepare on-site interviews:

Another thing that's not covered there that you'll need for interviews is knowledge of design patterns. There are many good resources on this on youtube such as this:

As long as you're good enough of a salesman to find someone to interview you.
Lol. He's barely even started writing code, I don't think he needs to worry about landing a job interview anytime soon.
