Hows the partner engineer or cloud engineer roles. Im guessing its a consulting role for GCP adoption. I’m looking for opportunities in Dallas (my expertise is aws no gcp exp) and wanted to know if someone knows the expectations, compensation, wlb, travel, interview process etc. Also would this make it easier for me to secure a different roles like Engineering Manager or SWE ik the future (in the bay area) TC - 170K Dallas
170k you live like a king in dallas.
Not really
Its like 300k in the bay
Customer Engineers are in sales roles, and it seems like recruiters convince candidates otherwise. You will mainly be working with prospects who are considering GCP vs. AWS/Azure. It might be a great role for you! But just understand, it's not just a consultant.
Make sure the role is in the same job ladder, if you have EM ambitions. Transfers to SWE are non trivial (basically same as an external candidate) especially with higher levels.
