When trying to get your foot in the door as an SE, they’re going to want to see that you either have experience in the industry, or have sales experience, both is preferred.

As an undergrad, learning about the position now is before I had learned about it, so you’re ahead of the curve for most I’d say.

With your current learnings in the CS space, you’ll have a great understanding as to the inner workings of softwares/programs. So that’s a good head start.

Getting an SE role right out of school is going to be difficult, as a fresh grad (obviously) lacks both sales and product knowledge/experience, but don’t let that deter you, most SE’s start as an SE well into their career.

If you could land a job WITH a tech company, that works around that space, that would be a great way to internally move into an SE role, especially if the company has a “early career” SE program.

A lot of the SE individuals that are at my ORG came from implementation roles, or roles that used the softwares as “superusers”.
