Break Into Solutions Engineering

Thinking about moving into Solutions Engineering from a developer, support, account executive, or consulting background? I've made that transition myself — from Engineering Lead into a 10y Solution Engineering role at Microsoft and Github.

This session is for people who want to know what to expect from the role, and how they can bring skills from their existing role into the new one. How to position themselves or what the role actually looks like day to day.

We can cover:

• What SE teams actually do at early-stage vs. scaled companies
• How to reframe your engineering or sales background for SE roles
• Building a portfolio of demos, POCs, and technical storytelling
• Which companies and sectors are hiring SEs right now and what they
• Honest career advice on whether SE is actually right for you

Practical guidance from someone who's built and led SE teams.
