I got the impression from the article that this was for a sales position - "AE role" - account executive. A good tech sales rep must have a solid understanding of the product and its place in the tech environment, but they also need to be trustworthy, to the benefit of both their employer and customer.
But if that's judged by the companies you've worked for, how do you get in if you didn't study at the right university or come from the right background?
