Paper + Pen

How exactly you take bookmarks with paper and pen? How can a bookmark taken with paper and pen be useful? How do you read simplified versions of articles while taking notes with paper and pen? How do you capture pictures with notes with paper and pen (unless you draw really really good). And so on...

I faced the same issue 3 years ago. So I decided to change job and apply for Sales Engineer.

Yes, it's very difficult to switch from software engineering to sales/marketing field. But I learnt a lot more about software engineering when I worked as Sales guy.

Currently I work as Software Developer cum Sales Engineer.
