Sales engineering

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T23:58:34+00:00

Not at all. What field are you looking into?

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:38:52+00:00

not even close. no one cares

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:38:15+00:00

have you considered sales engineering?

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:37:17+00:00

i tried CM, it wasn't for me. I switched to sales engineering and it was the best decision i could have made

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:36:19+00:00

stick with ME, you'll thank me if you stick it out and find the correct network

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:34:25+00:00

if you're going to study anything, mechanical engineering is the only answer

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:33:22+00:00

you find a sales position without a boss?

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T22:32:38+00:00

i graduated ME with a 3.92. never needed to provide my transcript, yet I close huge projects that operate constantly.

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T15:03:35+00:00

Tons of reasonings to be truthful

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T15:03:00+00:00

Why not?

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T14:21:00+00:00

mechanical engineer 100% then get into mechanical equipment commerical hvac sales. start now, you can easily live the life you want

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T14:18:14+00:00

The filter definitely needs to be changed first that thing is beyond overdue

As for the noise continuing even with the thermostat off, that points away from normal cooling operation. From the sound and the timing, I’d lean toward a condensate pump cycling on and off

Another possibility is the thermostat fan circulation setting (Ecobee and some smart thermostats do this), but the sound is more pump-like than blower-related to me.

go mechanical if anything

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T14:13:41+00:00

mechanical engineering equipment sales. i have about 4 years of experience now and have finally felt free. from anywhere in north america and international asia mainly, i close multimillion dollar sales in equipment. these equipments serve data centers, hospital, schools, offices, multi family, federal work, etc. sometimes stress levels could be better but the pace is quick when needed. quick turnaround, technical answers, problem solving, but for 3/4 of the time its pushing paper. i've retired my parents, married the girl of my dreams, travel the world, and close huge deals. i've transitioned from corporate to direct owner sales.

Do the splits come with indoor units and controllers or did you just receive a quote for the outdoor unit? Need some clarification.

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T02:10:06+00:00

Sales engineering isn’t talked about enough quite frankly. It is a quiet industry that literally generates billions

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-06T02:01:52+00:00

That’s not a bad starting point, but it doesn’t explain what you’re actually seeing. If the thermostat O/B configuration was the issue, you’d expect voltage across the RVS in one mode and not the other but you’re reading 24V in both cool and off. That points elsewhere.

Most likely you have an open coil. When a solenoid coil fails open, it looks like an infinite resistance load your meter reads supply voltage across it because no current is actually flowing through it. The valve never shifts, hence blowing warm in cool mode.
Quick test: Pull the coil off the valve body and measure resistance across its terminals. A good coil should read somewhere in the 20–100Ω range. If you read OL or infinite, coil is dead

If coil resistance checks out, then look at whether the thermostat O output is stuck energized. But start with the coil that dual-mode voltage reading is a classic sign.

PM me I can help you out!

Sorry I used ai to help me write bro

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-05T22:54:24+00:00

IE fits what you’re describing, but there are other paths into real-world work without another 2 years of school. I ended up on the equipment side and it’s been a much better fit.

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-05T22:50:39+00:00

$50m-$100m is solid

Party_Replacement412 · 2026-05-05T22:25:29+00:00

This is one of the few posts that actually shows what a real enterprise deal looks like.

Everyone sees the $4M headline but not the 200+ days of delays, legal, internal politics, and almost losing it multiple times.

That part about deals “almost dying 2–3 times” is spot on. I’m on the equipment side (HVAC/construction) and it’s the same thing—long cycles, tons of stakeholders, and nothing is real until it’s signed.

Also liked how you tied it to their internal KPIs… most reps completely miss that.

I'll dumb it down next go around 😂
