I chose to become an FDE when it wasn't cool. When the big names like Google, Microsoft, etc weren't hiring them. I've been in this role for 6 months and gained enough insights to know who or who isn't a fit for this role. I believe having been a Software Engineer at Google before I eventually became a Forward Deployed Engineer, gives me unique first hand perspective into this role. If you're curious about what the heck this role is all about, whether you should move or not? I've covered everything in my latest youtube video. Link in the comments. Enjoy!
