It might. However, large companies have an uncanny ability to screw their sales force. If you do really well they will reward you with a higher quota, and they'll divide your territory in half. I've seen it happen way too many times. Plus tech sales tends to be unstable. One year you make $200K selling something that is in demand, the next year it's out of style and you get canned for missing quota. In 1998-2001 I was selling Sun servers. It was a pretty damn nice way to make a living. In 2002 you couldn't give a Sun server away. So the odds of somebody staying content in tech sales is fairly low. The desire or need to change usually hits ever few years.
