Hi Tessa,

I have a degree in software engineering but haven't practiced it at work. I also have 5 years of marketing experience (mainly content marketing) at a tech company. Do you think that experience is enough to go into developer relations? I'm not super technical and it's been a year since I finished my degree, in which I haven't done much development work. Is being super technical necessary? Can I lean towards my marketing experience more in this role?

Thanks,
Sam
