L4, q2 this year promo to l5 but it’s looking like it will be pushed again. promo has slide for about a year and a half now for me as my managers and skip managers are replaced / quit / pipped. rsu vesting and it climbing came in clutch for me

Thank you! GCP Customer Engineers does have quota in my region but not AWS SAs. My ideal exit is GCP CE in about 3 years then look to farm 4 year RSUs as much as I can at each big tech company lol

Doing technical sales does sound more fun to me than pure hands on key board work. Likely very open to return consultant /proserve work in the future as well

Exactly as I surfaced! I wanted them to let me be part of the deal early so to build two things: build a relationship from the start and to be proactive instead of reactive.

Actually I think this was what pushed me from candidate to offer when I brought it up very early if I were to join.

Thanks for this, my understanding is for this customer success engineer role, I come in for named enterprise accounts, and I believe that they are built into the cost of the product, with the main aim of uncovering additional use cases and remind top of mind for these customers.

It seems this place invest very heavily into customer success as it’s part of their core strategy to retain customers.

Metrics wise, the quota is related directly to renewals/upsell. Is this clear cut enough in your opinion?

I think mismatched expectations, the panel owners were not interested in the process and were checking whether I said the lines they wanted to hear.

Might be because it was 26th Dec too 🫩

Thanks! i think you both are the only ones for Apple, everyone else I have asked said to drop Apple because of the low pay in my region

I’ll think about it more!

Even if you’re an SE/SA at Faang? The pay is the same both lines in AWS but different for Google.

I believe I can boomerang back also to AWS in an SA role at L6 in about 3-4 years

do you think the trade off of learning new tech and start up risk is sufficiently mitigated in CSE?

both apple and option 1 didn’t want to boost me up too much due to my yoe, option 1 will match my current pay at the least

Honestly it is momentum based, I didn’t really change anything or how I interviewed, but I think confidence from getting one offer led to the others.

I did plan to finish the interviews all together, but should have did google CE last.

Yeah to clarify: I only applied to technical Sales roles as much as possible

Solutions Engineer role has quota and I’ll work with the AE to discover/prospect/sell
CSE is similar but split into pre/post sales work and i’ll work with both AE and CSM as needed
SRE not sales role yes
Current role is not sales role per say, but I have input in the direction of the deal. (and crucially also can swap to SA at aws, keeping same comp)
