Technical Sales Engineering Income Survey

There are several websites and surveys that present Software Engineering and Information Security income data, but there are very few resources for those of us in technical Sales Engineering (also called Solutions Architecture at times). Sites such as Glassdoor are not current with the actual salaries people are making.

This is a simple income questionnaire for technical pre-sales Sales Engineering / Solutions Architecture professionals that work in the field full time. The purpose of this questionnaire is to create some transparency in pay so that practitioners have some data to use when negotiating their salary, and so hiring managers can see what the current market rates are. Please consider contributing to this anonymous project regardless of your income or experience level.
