I don’t mind this as long as the sales team and management allow the correct amount of time to build it in a maintainable way.

The reality is I only get paid because of those deals, and the post deal tech-debt sprint never happens.

So the work has to get done and if sales doesn’t give time for it to be done properly then in 3-6 months velocity will drop and the sales pipeline will dry up.

Any company that can’t understand that is not a long term company I want to work at.
