Has anyone moved from SE/Devops to sales, how was it if so?

I have a friend who has encouraged me to get into sales, apparently the pay can be very good (?). Blessed to work as an SE and DevOps engineer, this may help me on the technical side - bringing that to sales.

Is sales what they call a “sales engineer”?

I have much improvement and proficiency that I could reach as a DevOps engineer, but is sales a nice shift and change both in terms of the work life balance and the pay?
