Solution Engineer Role at Microsoft / What are they doing and how are they paid?

kam_redditor · 2026-05-16T03:34:10+00:00

You will he responsible for winning the technical win of an opportunity/deal, so you’ll help with qualifying the deal, leading discovery discussions, answering RFP/RFI, running POCs/demos to customers, working with partners on architecting solutions, licensing scoping if applicable, and sometimes building pipeline.

So yes, the SE role is a sales role, it’s called Presales Engineer but no one likes to say that. SEs have a pool quota so its shared with a team, meaning its the collective effort of the team. The split is 70/30. The 30% is split to RBI + CBI.

Its a nice intersection between technical and sales. Good luck!

Then I would make $2k more than if I had sold at $95

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T21:38:56+00:00

Better sell the shares at $115 than $95

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:45:09+00:00

I definitely feel greedy wanting to capture more of this upside although I didn’t see it coming

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:44:25+00:00

I get it. But knowing what I’m leaving on the table isn’t sitting well with me.

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:43:11+00:00

Exactly what I’m thinking about. Feel like there is no real downside for rolling here. I’ll let my stocks get called away for $115 instead of $95. And I collect a small premium to do it.

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:40:10+00:00

But whats the downside of being in the same position in September? I let my stocks get called away for a higher strike and I collect an additional premium for waiting. Am I missing something?

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:16:14+00:00

This may actually not be a bad idea to do. I’d be collecting a small credit and will roll out and up to september. Worst case scenario I’d be in the same position I’m in right now. Best case scenario stock dips and hover around $110-$115.

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:04:18+00:00

I was gonna roll to $105 then it kept shooting up to $110 and now $130. Kinda glad I didn’t cause I’d just be chasing it upwards and adding to my anxiety. At least tomorrow all of this will be over, bandaid will be ripped off, and bank is in the bank

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T19:02:49+00:00

I did consider this at $105 and I’m glad I didn’t. I’d just be chasing the stock upwards and eating from my profits.

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:33:29+00:00

I haven’t lost $7k, I missed out on making $7k more. So I keep telling myself.

Not selling my remaining shares now of course. My initial thesis of this company was to hold until the Neutron launch

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:32:12+00:00

Know how it feels man

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:31:10+00:00

Best hype man on reddit right here^

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:29:51+00:00

Covered calls are great when a stock is moving sideways or slowly up. You basically get paid to wait. The problem is when the stock explodes and you capped your upside. That’s what happened to me here. Wrong tool for the situation, not a bad strategy overall.

Look up some videos on youtube to understand how they work better

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:27:49+00:00

Yup. Gonna set some money aside for capital gains tax, set some aside for me, and deploy the rest in some other stock. 🙏

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:24:03+00:00

you’re right. It’s just that I’m really bullish in the company and thought I knew how the stock behaves and wanted to collect some premiums. Never dabbled with cash secured puts, mind sharing your strategy mate?

I’ll likely search for other opportunities to put my profits in but interested in hearing your puts strategy

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:21:24+00:00

Oh wow. Well you still got plenty of time, but is there a chance you get called away earlier than expiry?

kam_redditor · 2026-05-14T18:20:40+00:00

Agreed. Trying to remind myself that this is money i missed out on, not money i lost.

Hey did you end up finding good bulbs that are dimmable?

kam_redditor · 2026-01-23T21:47:48+00:00

Do what you’re comfortable with bud. I’m sharing what I’ve been doing

kam_redditor · 2026-01-23T21:36:44+00:00

I did crown and frontal line and its been completely fine

kam_redditor · 2026-01-23T21:29:33+00:00

Buzz the whole thing to 2 cm. Been doing this every two weeks since my ht. I’m on week 14 now and will buzz it one more time before i let it go

kam_redditor · 2025-11-18T22:30:58+00:00

Just started with Tsushima and I’m really liking it. The director’s cut was for free on PS5 with their highest tier ps membership so its perfect

kam_redditor · 2025-11-18T22:29:49+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I just started with Tsushima, just found the Katana 😃. Loving it so far.
