Anyone from Salesforce here? Considering a future transition into Sales Engineering. Would like to understand difficulty of getting in. 9 years of SF Core (4 Admin, 2 Dev, 3 Manager) 4 Years SFMC (Admin/Data Dev/Manager), 2 years SFMC (Sys Admin role). My company is a huge SF shop and I've learned a ton around the Salesforce ecosystem and feel this could be a good step for me. Not sure what kind of experience they look for.

You have more than sufficient technical skills to be an SE here (I'm an SE). I would say it's a question of how much experience you have being customer facing and building relationships.

The technical part is a huge plus, but people skills are most of the job. You’ll be running discovery and will need to think creatively how a customers problems translate to the product.

My advice is have a great story

Sounds like you’d do great in the role. I think as long as you present well you’ll crush it.
