Hi Mifrah, thank for this amazing summary of the role. Quick question, apart from the annual bonus, does this role also have sales commissions for the deals that you are a part of? 🤔

[@mifhk8]

Yes it does :)

Thank you for this video, What is the difference between a solutions expert a solutions specialist and a sales engineer?

[@nickgottum744]

Thanks for the great video Mifrah!! I recently got AZ-900 and MS-900 certs and plan to move into tech sales. Have Bachelor in Comp Science degree as well but never worked in IT after I graduated in 2009. Around 7 years of consultative sales experience. Any advise on what Microsoft role titles I should be looking at applying? Thank you from Australia!!
