Are there any 'elite MBAs' here?

I'm sorry I know I'll sound like a douche asking this question.

I've got a pretty fancy MBA degree, most of the rest of my cohort is now in consulting, product management, or marketing.

I know that sales is seen as the gateway to big money, but I look at sales salaries, and the salaries of peers my age in the above mentioned roles, and the difference is not huge, and they don't have to deal with the stress of variability and performance-linked pay.

I just wonder if sales is a bit of a suboptimal path post MBA. Like is the additional salary really worth the stress and uncertainty as compared to the other typical post-MBA paths

I'd love to hear from anyone here who's got an MBA and entered sales post that
