AE life

How's life as an Application Engineer?

I guess most days are good - we get to work on the latest technology and features that RnD rolls out, we get to drive product updates based on field requirements, meet new people, work closely with Sales and Marketing, build connections and ofcourse travel

And then there are days when the knives are out to get you and words like 'Escalation', 'Critical' and 'regular updates' become part of everyday lingo till things get better

But let's be honest -  anyone and everyone who has been in Management has gone through this experience. Taking tough calls when then tide is against you and making things work in an hostile environment is what separates the Managers' from the Leaders'

Don't get me wrong - I am not claiming here that becoming an AE will make you a good leader. But yes, if you do get a chance to working an Application Engineering - give it a try for sure. You may be surprised by discovering a side to yourself which you never knew existed
