What's the income ceiling for sales engineering?
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?

Target a company, study / train on the tech the best you can, ask questions of current SEs at tech companies you're targeting. Then network your way in to a hiring manager (if possible)

In addition, I made a similar transition and am now in Tech now. It kind of depends on your background. Are many of your current responsibilities applicable in a Tech SE role? If so, in your interviews, be sure to highlight those experiences.
Network a lot. My manager keeps a list of warm candidates that he’s been introduced to. He already has a good idea of who he would hire before head count is opened. Formal job posting is a formality at that point.
Late to the game but here to say, stick it out. This industry is rapidly growing and experiencing a shortage of seasoned SE’s. You may want to shop around within the industry though.
