Thanks for the reply. My org doesn't have any SEs, so I'd be looking at joining another company. Good tip on looking in my current space (edtech) -- haven't thought of that.
If you're hoping to transition within your current org, I'd say talk to the SEs you currently work with. Ask them about their career paths, and ask for honest feedback on the level of technical knowledge you've demonstrated to them in calls and meetings. If you're wanting to find a role at another company, it'll be harder. Look for something in your space where you can demonstrate your expertise of the solutions in that category and building to suit client needs.
