- I am pretty confident I'll do well on leadership/personality interviews and would do marginally well on any coding type questions.
Talking with a MSFT recruiter for Reliability Site Engineer - CTJ in Redmond. What sort of offer can I expect (TC)? Glassdoor says base of 130-200k, but no details on total compensation (signing bonus, relocation, etc). How competitive would I be for Seattle type tech jobs with no real experience in Software engineering?
Want to see the real deal?

4. Behavioral
Some companies might omit some. Feel free to PM me if you have extra questions re SRE in general.
Working on #1 on your list now. I think #3 and #4 won't be too bad. Really appreciate the help!
My main goal is to make about what I am now (140k as a LCDR in DC) and just crush it when I get the opportunity. If I have to start a bit lower I'll manage since I get partial retirement (other half going to the ex). But a significant portion of my income is tax exempt so my net will still be less. The thing that worries me is companies passing on me due to my lack of experience, which I guess is less of a concern in an EPM type role.
