Does anyone have experience or familiarity with the role of Technical Account Manager? As far as being one early on in your career –

what does it set you up for in terms of exit opportunities to other kinds of roles?
do you think you can get meaningful experience from it after one year?
what's the earning ceiling for if you were to stay as a Technical Account Manager?

I'm in this role currently (first job) but not happy with it or the company so far – I don't feel like I like the client-facing stuff, and I am considering a career change but I'm wondering what possible benefits would I be missing short-term and long-term (e.g. long-term earning potential). And I'm also scared to make that career change (SWE), because I have to go learn new skills for it.

If anyone has time to chat for a few minutes about this with me, I'd greatly appreciate that as well! But thank you for any input!
