theprincess

I'm a SWE/SRE who has worked at a lot of big tech firms on backend systems. I got into software for the money and have mostly compartmentalized that side of my life since relationships with people are what really makes me happy.

Given my personality I've been wondering if I may be happier doing something that's more people oriented but still makes use of the knowledge and experience that I've accumulated over the past decade.

Could I leverage my strong background in software engineering to pivot into sales? Should I look into something else that's related and relatively social like developer relations?

A word of advice from anyone who has made a change like this would be a huge help. Thank you!
