- guessmyname 3mo agoUsed to? Are you implying that the term “Sales Engineers” does not exist anymore?
- fmajid 3mo agoSales engineers are pre-sale, FDE are both pre- and post-sale. FDEs are also much more involved in the client implementation, often they are the ones actually doing all the work, specially in government bureaucracies or large ossified corporations where no one there actually knows how to get things done.
- slowin 3mo agoSales engineers do post-sales work. Typically if they're going to do a significant amount of real work, they'd just be called "consultants".
