How long would it take to transfer from a technical solutions engineer role to SWE? What is the process like? Anyone here went through it recently?
I believe you need to give conversion interview.
Would love to know the answer for sysadmin to SRE @ google too
Same sentiment. TSE's aren't on same tier as SWEs (whatever kind of SWE).
It'd be easier to leave and come back than convert. I'd mention that you'd be better off as a TSE than swe in cloud. Much more career growth outside of swe.
An eternity
