Is sales engineering / solutions consulting a possible career path for someone without a degree in comp sci or a technical background? Do I just need to get into a junior SE/SC role at a solid tech company like Salesforce or ServiceNow? Or am i basically screwed because I don’t have a technical background?

It's probably easier to start as a support agent or SDR and pick up the tech skills and pivot.

It’s a technical role. It is possible to go into that, but you need to have acquired the technical chops somewhere. If not in a degree, then through work experience. You won’t be able to land the job without it, as those are usually highly coveted roles.

Hello everyone,

I had my second technical interview two weeks ago and I had emailed the recruiter to check for any progress on my application. I just received an email saying they want to talk to me over call. Should I be worried? Given the hiring freeze .. I am a little worked up. I mean, I would surely talk to her soon to know the situation but my anxiety is off the charts. Is this positive or negative ?
