I'm curious about how everyone here is approaching the transition into a Forward Deployed Engineer role.
If you had 90 days to become interview ready for an FDE position, how would you spend your time?
Would you focus more on:
Building AI agents
Learning system design
Improving customer communication
Creating end to end projects
Practicing technical interviews
Something else entirely
If you've already landed an FDE role or are actively interviewing, what do you think made the biggest difference in your preparation?
I'd love to hear your roadmap, mistakes to avoid, and the resources that actually helped. I think this discussion could become a valuable guide for everyone in the community.
