I'm currently in the Cyber/RMF space was have been curious about becoming a Sales Engineer. Would anyone recommend Presales Academy?

Apparently they help you build skills and get you directly in front of hiring managers. It's a tuition fee with it.

Nah. You can probably apply for those positions right now. You have technical skills and just need to be trained up in customer facing.

If you’re not getting bites, ask your current company for customer facing responsibilities to build up your resume.

Or apply to a solutions engineer position to get customer experience and use that to bridge the gap to sales engineer

Needing advise. I have been at my new company for 3 months and I hate it. So much to hate too much to type up. So I’ve been applying around and I actually got an interview for my dream position today. How do I explain this current situation? I heard it’s not good to bash other companies but I genuinely do not know how to explain why I want to leave without my current company getting bashed. Should I just put it all out there or keep it vague?
