Has anyone transitioned from sales role to deal desk role?

Hi savages,

I wonder if anyone here has any experience from working in a deal desk role or transitioning into a deal desk role? I am curious as few of my colleagues have made the jump from sales to deal desk and to me it seems like a way to potentially future proof myself.

Is it easy, does it pay more, advantages, disadvantages?

(aka I sometimes dream of other roles but always remain in sales lol)

Thanks!
