For sales people its a job.
Oracle ranks around IBM... its a steady paycheck until you find a better place to be.
Oracle like IBM has to re-invent itself. It was primarily Oracle's high price for Exadata that caused a lot of companies to come up with a big data strategy. I mean for the cost of Oracle's licenses alone you could kit out a Hadoop cluster and break even after 16-18 months.
Those big ticket deals are dwindling. And your quota is based on what the territory did the year prior.
In a shrinking market... not that good.
And yeah, I know the sales side of the biz
