While I haven't worked in those roles myself at Google, a lot of my colleagues have. TSE and SRE are completely different. One is solutions engineer or sales engineer that's focused on the clients and helping them buy and get started while the other is maintaining Google's own infrastructure. I work with a lot of Google SREs and I would say you will find some deeply technical and amazing people there. You can probably build yourself for any engineering role in infrastructure by joining that function. I do not know too many TSE's closely but that's much more of a sales oriented role and that's what you can expect. If you want to develop your sales skills, go with TSE. If you want to build and create things in infra, go with SRE.
