Thoughts on Tech Sales?

Has anyone switched from IB to tech sales? It looks like a lot of the positions are "account executive" titles.

1) Do you like the work? What do you do in summary?

2) How did you network / recruit into these roles? I seem to only get reached out to about other IB roles, or the occasional PE role which are starting to seem less appealing to me as my time in IB passes

Thanks for any insights
