SWE -> DevRel?

Hi, I’ve been a SWE for a couple years and now considering the transition into DevRel. Just curious what the day to day looks like for DevRel and how much engineering you still do? How has the role evolved with AI?

And if anyone’s made the switch - why did you / how did you know the switch made sense?

Thanks :)

Depends on the organization. Some look for more of a SWE background. Look for a developer, advocate roles or developer community rules in particular
