How technical is SE role? Some of the demos I have seen requires extensive flow experience which I feel like I am horrible at :(

Speaking kindly, you need to work harder on your technical skills if you are struggling with Flows, for any position...I suggest Trailhead and YouTube videos. Many SE's write Apex and JS (Lightning Components) to build demos.

Thank you for all your replies! This is helpful. Just to provide context - I am an SE at SF. I am good at presentations and understanding business processes, but I struggle with technical knowledge. My OOTB SF knowledge is good but when it comes to creating complex flows - I do struggle.

I joined as a SE recently from big 4 - super non technical, in fact a large part of the selling point of Salesforce is showing how we can build complex workflows without having to code… I wouldn’t get hung up on being technical. creating flows - yeah that’s definitely required lol, but apex? Rarely see that as a SE

Was an SE there for 5 years across SMB and ENT. It’s not inherently super technical. It can be if you make it as such. Core SEs will never “need” to write triggers, flows, apex code because you’ll have resources to help with that, esp when it’s more common in enterprise. However you should be able to write some basic flows in order to understand the value they provide.

On the whole I actually thought there was a pretty big knowledge gap around the technical acumen at Salesforce. Most core platform folks didn’t understand how we would work with our acquisitions and those acquisitions still aren’t very well integrated. Causes a lot of headaches for customers
