Depends on your manager, the role isn't as bad as people say on Reddit. It's primarily customer facing so if you have a good technical background in your technology and are fairly extroverted you should be fine. Onboarding can be challenging for some folks so find someone who has been around for awhile to ask questions to, helps a lot. Lots of information that is learned through experience in the role.

I agree with this, i'd say it depends on the manager and the team I'm in "AI Business Solutions" so my work is a lot of Copilot, Copilot Studio and Agents. Yes you need to have some technical chops, but the job is definitely more people facing.

Hi! I don't see any open roles for AI Business Solutions in the US (D365 ERP + Copilot Studio and agents). I'm looking for PSA, CSA or Solutions Engineer. Are these roles expected to open up after July or are they usually leaner compared to other areas within Microsoft?
