Few years ago I was having a "let's get to know each other" lunch with an account executive . He was very successful in sales in the company we both worked at the time and quite clearly prior to it. So I asked him about his career history. [It is important for this story to note here that this guy is extremely handsome, and knows it] He describing starting as a shoe salesman in women's shoes in Bellevue Nordstrom, as he put it "flirting with all the mothers coming to buy shoes". Checks out. He progresses and a decade and a half later he's an Oracle rep. Eventually, he said, the money was good but he "got tired of being the most hated man in the room".

Did he get hated for being handsome, or for being an Oracle salesman?
