Any Tableau SEs able to share some insights?
I have two years of automotive/aerospace manufacturing experience and am looking for new opportunities. I recently applied to a Solution Engineer - Commercial Manufacturing, Automotive, Energy (MAE) role at Salesforce, and it sounds like a great fit. Is anyone willing to offer me a referral or advice on how to move forward in the hiring process? Salesforce
Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.
I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.
The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.
Thoughts?

Well, you say don't ask how you got the job, but that seems pretty relevant when you got hired to do a job where you have no idea what you're doing, and they won't even provide training to you. Were you being dishonest about your work experience and qualifications? If you want concrete steps to take right now you might want to share some of the job descriptions and what you're being expected to do. There's no quick and easy way to develop the knowledge you seek, otherwise everyone would be doing it.
I’m a sales engineer. When I first started I didn’t get any training at all it was all thrown in the fire and see what happens. I would suggest reviewing and learning as much as you can about the tech stack/product offerings of your company. Review all the documentations, both front facing and internal. I would review support tickets, ask around and find people that can help you get familiar, use slack/or any other msg app your org uses and review past convos about certain technical topics etc… I would also learn about the values your product offers to its clients. Value selling can be more powerful than just simply selling features.
Congratulations ! Welcome to the real world. Embrace it, forget what the process was in college and prepare to begin your real world training. Nearly everything you will learn in the tech industry is ahead of you, be prepared to learn something new everyday, and to establish your in your confidence to learn, comprehend and to teach. You are prepared for this. Go out and rock it !
It helps to have a technical background, but I'd pick up a few sales books and just have at it.
