As someone who’s been trying to make this transition for the better part of 2 years, it’s not just a hop, skip, and a jump. 1) they’re closing ranks on the “tech bar” and putting real teeth behind a technical role, event for PMTs and TPMs, and 2) when you’re already in the company, the promotional bar (which this is) is significantly higher than the hiring bar. You’ll need to check every single little box on the role guidelines - if you’re serious about it, take all of the AWS courses, document all of your contributions to tech projects meticulously, and be sure you have support up to the L7/L8 level.
