Hi!
I have been trying to switch to a technical role at G for some months now with very little luck despite submitting CLs for my current team + 20% exp. I’m currently in a sales ladder but do mostly development work and want to switch to a role that offers me more support and growth tech wise. I’ve also been interviewing externally and I have heard positive feedback for SWE @ Microsoft just need team matching. Would it be smart to switch or wait to find a SWE/UXE or other tech role at G?

For additional context, I’ve been mostly applying for grow postings. I’ll interview with some SWE HMs and of the ones I did they will just tell me to apply for the google developer academy. For UXE, I generally don’t meet with a HM and get rejected. I have asked my 20% project about this as well and they don’t have headcount. I’m not sure if there’s another place I should look?

IMO if your goal is to switch to SWE / UXE and G isn’t providing you that opportunity, take it where you can. You can always get a couple of years experience and rejoin Google in the future.

Hey all, question about a toxic organization. I’ve rided it out in sales as an AE at an org for 2 years and now I truly feel my mental health suffers.

There is inconsistent behavior and 0 accountability from leadership when we don’t hit our sales targets.

Is this a normal thing in sales?

I understand they are different but in my job today, I handle both roles so can go in either direction.
Appreciate any input.
