SE’s make wonderful engineers, as they are really good at focusing on delivering positive experiences to the end user. Obviously for this specific question, you will need the hard skills required for a network engineer. Lots of wonderful courses you can take to hone those skills. Can even look for SE jobs at companies like Rapid 7 where you can get exposure to the industry.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
