I have two years of automotive/aerospace manufacturing experience and am looking for new opportunities. I recently applied to a Solution Engineer - Commercial Manufacturing, Automotive, Energy (MAE) role at Salesforce, and it sounds like a great fit. Is anyone willing to offer me a referral or advice on how to move forward in the hiring process? Salesforce
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?

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).

You can learn pretty much anything you want for free on Youtube. Are you looking for formal education/certifications or are you okay with just acquiring the skills?
Just okay with acquiring skills
Udemy and Datacamp are great and easy to get started as the courses are self-contained and you don’t need to install anything locally (which you can learn later if needed).
There are many free API courses so filter on rating & beginner level. I’d also recommend a beginner Python course. Having foundations of SQL is still also valuable
For APIs, Postman's API Testing for Beginners course is a gem. It'll walk you through the basics of APIs, how to work with them and even some handy tips for testing and troubleshooting.
