Even if you are good at those, for many companies, it's more about connections than about the ability to build stuff. So if you don't know the right people, it is very difficult to get a foothold.
- noobermin 4mo agoSorry I should have specified, engineer here means software engineer/software developer.

- darkerside 4mo agoMarketing, networking, and sales are the job. Or a large part of it. If you don't have connections, knowing how to make connections is part of it. Accept that there are other skills besides engineering, and they can be just as challenging to learn, and just as opaque from the outside of you don't understand it.
