I possess a substantial equity portfolio exceeding $2 million; nevertheless, certain financial institutions exhibit reservations regarding the utilization of equity as opposed to readily available liquid cash for a down payment.

It seems like you are liquid enough and if you possess the skills to be successful in a tech sales job, you will likely land on your feet and pretty quickly.I wouldn't necessarily push you to do it, but if it's a good deal, I would certainly understand your pursuit of it.
