After 10 years on the “customer” side I recently made the switch and after 2 months of applying was just given an offer. My unsolicited advice for those looking to break into this world is to network. Your applications will hit ATS or recruiter walls without an internal advocate/prior SE on your resume. In my case I simply contacted a few peers on the current team and asked for a chance to connect and learn more about the company/role. One of them took me up on that offer and after a 30 min chat flagged my name for the recruiter - the rest is history. Keep your head up!

Would love to bend your ear and get an idea on the company, comp, and overall morale! Feel free to comment below or DM.

-Thank you-
