I’m making a career pivot from sales into GTM engineering

hey everyone! nice to meet y’all. my name is oubay, based in northern virginia right outside of dc. i’ve been in software sales for about 4-5 years as a bdr and associate account executive, across sales tech, cybersecurity, and cloud/ai. outside of my 9-5 i’m building a couple of my own things, hair loss scanner tech and a shawarma brand/restaurant concept here in the dmv. doing the growth side myself on the app is a big part of what got me into gtm engineering in the first place. i’m making a career pivot into go-to-market engineering. step one is obviously learning clay and building up the technical side, on top of what i already know about outbound workflows and messaging. i want to get good at the stuff past basic enrichment, like signal-based plays, AI research agents, and connecting clay to a CRM so the whole system runs on its own. if you’ve made a similar jump from sales into gtm engineering, i’d love to connect and hear how you did it. and if you’re starting out too, let’s build together 🤝
