I am currently being considered to be interviewed for solutions Engineer new grad position at Facebook. I was wondering what would be the career path, how different is it from SWE, how the interviews are structured, what's expected and any other tips/pointers that you could share regarding this position. I'm mostly being considered at Berlin/London offices. Thanks!
When do new grad Solutions Engineering positions open up for Facebook?

Interview is similar to SWE, with 1 sales interview (which is mostly behavioral/sales). You’re partly sales consultant, partly PM, partly SWE.
Are you currently or have you been, an SE? What was the experience like?
Yes, but not in Europe. it varies person to person. I prefer SWE for the higher pay + being able to code more on single project. But some of them liked exploring new things, and working on different areas like sales/PM. You need to be more political to be successful on that team unfortunately.
