Any developer advocates here?
- What’s it like?
- Do you still get to code? Or do you mostly support developers who are using your companies tools/APIs?
- How did you get into it since it’s a pretty new role? (to me at least).

I’m thinking of switching paths to be more people focused but I don’t know if I have the right skills.

I interviewed for a role at Google in the past. I’m not one but here’s is the impression I got:

- it’s really fun! I spoke to 8ish Dev Advocates and they all universally love their job. Some even had a stint in PM and came back.

- depends. Some do, others don’t. Feels like it’s very team/company dependent but more so depends on the org’s current objectives. You’re primarily demystifying stuff for outside devs and driving adoption.

- most fall into it. It’s been around as a field for a while though. I applied for one specific devrel job which I didn’t get 😥.

Hope this helps!

Good luck OP with the new path if you decide to go down it!

How long have you been pursuing the path you’re currently on?

1 year. Graduated in 2020 (soft eng), I had a few tech support internships which I enjoyed because I got to help people and talk to people on a daily basis but there wasn’t enough programming. I feel like I need a balance, which is why I’m curious about the developer advocate roles.

Never heard od a developer advocate. What's that role about?

I think their role is to support other developers who are trying to use the companies tools. Either by writing documentation, creating tutorial videos, leading events e.t.c

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

I’ve been thinking of making a switch from audit to TAS. I’m currently a S1 (2 busy seasons experience), and rated as a top performer at my firm.

Honestly, I want to switch to TAS but not that desperate to leave my firm. Anyway, I just wonder if you guys have the same situation and usually how long it takes to get promoted?
