Emphasize the good professional relationships you you were managed to build with the customers over the years, talk about the end to end solutions and holistic approach the SE role will allow you to address. Mention traveling is NOT a problem, and good luck

I’d say for SE, it would be good to focus on the business reason behind everything you do. I.e. we have this product that does this cool stuff, which is going to lead to person x only having to work on a task for an hour vs. a day.
It’s important to communicate the why as much as the what.

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??
