High Output Management, by Andy Grove.

"A Manager's Output = The output of his organization + the output of the neighboring organizations under his influence."

You won't walk away with tactics, but the book will help get you in the right mindset.

I've moved across engineering, product management, & program management. I had an easy time moving from one to another, and I've enjoyed them all.

To make the move a bit less painful for others I started curating job opportunities [1] for people just like you (us). It's a prototype at the moment, but I'd love your feedback.

Re:Ask HN: How to Change from SWE/SRE to Sales? on Wednesday October 05, 2022 @11:15AM (#33096618)
To answer your question, yes, you could 100% leverage your SWE background in sales. I was in a similar position, and have since moved across engineering, product management, and program management. To make the move a bit less painful for others I started curating job opportunities[1], including sales roles, for people just like you (us). It's still a bit of a work in progress, but I'd love your feedback. [1]https://www.developerbranch.com
