Transition from EE to SDE role?
Hi all, I wonder if anyone has experience transitioning from an electrical engineering position to SDE. I am currently in a technical management role in the Air Force. My BS and MS are both in EE. I usually code in my job and for fun. Have taken online courses but don't have a formal CS background. How can I convince recruiters in FAANG that I can code?

What school did you go to? FAANG recruiters like top tier names - schools or companies.
A small, somewhat well-known in the Midwest, undergrad only, engineering institution. For Master's it was at AFIT.
If you are a veteran most big companies have special recruiting channels. Definitely possible.
