I was insanely lucky and landed a job that starts when I graduate mechatronics in 2 months, sales engineer for control systems and automation tools. Usually you need some sort of seniority but the company decided to try to hire a junior this time instead. I’m so excited to start!
Congrats!
Thank you for the insights. I was in the sales/finance industry at a high end dealership before transitioning into real estate and finally IT. After 6 years in IT i was promoted to management but within a yeae the company closed. Currently remaking my resume to better fit sales job as a whole
Great video. So many people getting into tech never even heard of the SE role nor understand it is NOT an entry level role. Boot camps for an SE position makes no sense 😂
Comprehensive video. Thanks
Thanks a ton, dude! Awesome explanation. 💰 ⚒️ 🚀
This video is phenomenal! Thank you for breaking down what comes with being a Sales Engineer
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful content, thanks man
You're welcome! Thanks for the support

Also, application engineer is your entry level sales engineering position
Thank you for this. I’ve been an automation engineer for 5 years. Could tou make a video on the type of questions to expect in an interview?

I work at Snowflake as an SE. Most Enterprise SEs have a decade+ experience in a technical role. I worked about 5-6 years as a Data Scientist before switching, and I'm relatively junior. I think it's this way because our product is fundamentally technical, and plus in data.
But Snowflake has opened up opportunities for non-technical folks to join the SE ranks specifically for Commercial accounts, so I think multiple paths can exist as you say. But I have never really heard of an SDR becoming an SE, especially in the data space.
Agreed, it's very rare for an SDR to go to SE but I've seen it in a select few cases and most of the time they had a STEM background to begin with before being an SE
Do you think 5-6 years of experience as a Data Analyst is good before getting a SE role like Snowflake?
@@CJ-fh5xq definitely, especially if you've worked with their tools. I'd reach out to SEs there and try to build a network before applying
@@CJ-fh5xqI'm not sure...I know we're looking for former DS/MLEs due to our newer LLM/AI products being released. I'm not sure about analytics. One of my teammates was a head of data analytics for a well-known retail firm, but he focused on data engineering more than analytics if I remember correctly. you can definitely apply
@hjtechguy hey man! I got an intervirw at snowflake for a partner data cloud architect role(apparently it is a sales engineer role) would you mind sharing a bit on what to look for on the interview and how to stand out?
Hey thanks for the video. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on more sales heavy vs tech heavy sales engineering roles? Is one more transferable than the other or necessarily better?
Could you get more specific? What's an example of a sales heavy vs tech heavy sales engineering role?
Hey I'm mech eng grad, and I have been working as a sales engineer in the HVAC industry for about 8 months now right after school in a medium size company.
From managing client lists to creating powerpoints, assisting our sales team with their personal needs, developping relations with manufacturers, coming up with business plans, work on my current personal projects with engineer firms, and trying to find them to learn and grow as a professional, I feel like I could manage everything better with better tools. Do you have any softwares that you actually do use to help you organize your daily tasks and short-long term projects?
I'm on calls all day, so usually Google suite for docs/slides/sheets, but I really like dooly which automatically integrates with Salesforce and updates deal notes for the opportunity
Hey man im in a similair situation and am also looking into that career path. What has been your experience with your job so far? and are there possibilities for growth you'd say? thanks
which out of the two do you think computer science or information systems would be a good route to becoming a sdr to then a sales engineer
Are you talking about a 4 year degree?
Hii thank you for useful sharing. May i ask you a question? I have been sale engineer in a Usa company based in Vietnam for more than 5 years. Is it too difficult for me to find an engineer sale job in Us ? Thanks in advance
Most companies hire in their region. Are there US companies based in Asia that you can apply to?
Thanks for reply to me. I am going to Usa next year as planned. Now i am in Vietnam. I hope I can have opportunity to continue sales engineer job in Usa. I heard that foreigners are not preferred as native for sales task can you help to advise?
Currently in a sales engineering position, what’s the difference between tech sales and sales engineering?
Pure sales is closing new business and/or managing accounts
@@techsales-higherlevels so like an account manager / executive?
@@shifty25_yes
How many hours a week would you say you devote?
@@downanddirtytruth devote to what?
@@techsales-higherlevels your profession of being a Sales Engineer. Would you say it goes beyond the typical 40-hour week?
Can one succeed in the field doing a standard 40-hour week?
