I'm BDR (3 years sales, 1 year sales trainier). After doing 3 months pre-sales for Apigee (API management platform), I got to realize that Sales Engineer could be a good idea to improve my income.

How much technical training would require to become Sales Engineer?
What extra tasks are involved in such a job?
How much % of tasks are different than sales?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
