Strong rumors about Networking and Security Specialist SE/AEs being moved into Portfolio Generalist AE/SE roles. Anyone hearing anything for USC and GES?
How would account mapping work? Who would handle Cat Center and Security conversations? Leader check in from today, can someone help confirm/deny rumors?
@d8 SE title needs to will be changing.
Cisco SE's increasingly useless. Not their fault though, portfolio is vast and they have to do all manner of other sh-t too like chase TAC and licensing problems. Also their role has swapped and changed constantly; business advisor, programmer, API expert, security, DC, R/S, wireless, now AI. Impossible job. Get rid of it all and let partner do all pre sales engineering.
@ax
Imagine being a technical resource at Cisco and having your management beg you to get even just a CCNP with unlimited test vouchers to help you. Beyond pathetic
Good luck mm made all portfolio SE’s get a measly ccnp and years later they are still whining about it.
What this means for specialist AE/SE „leader“ positions? Finally getting rid of some fat? Anyway, this means, more clueless generalist seller being overhelmed with the portfolio.
100% this is happening. there was a Oliver T call this am to notify leaders. Further details to be shares on the beat tomorrow am.
