What’s solutions engineering

Second stage in sales essentially. They close the deals by being a subject matter expert for the technical side of software and implementation, ensuring the customer is set up for success. Also a bit of onboarding work as well and then customer relationship management aspects, post-deal.

Not my ideal exit but I accepted an offer at another Big4 for a 26 percent hike in base.
Ideally I’d exit to industry in Product/Program manager role but I really needed out and this came up so I took it. And Im on H1B so I cant keep interviewing/accept a better offer if it comes up, once the transfer is initiated.
I can’t decide if Im happy or sad. I’m relieved for now.
