Am I ready to become an FDE?

Six signals that show up in real FDE hiring. Answer honestly — the gaps are the curriculum.

I can ship full-stack features without heavy hand-holding
I have built or deployed LLM / RAG / agent systems
I am comfortable leading technical conversations with customers
I have worked under messy data, security, or on-prem constraints
I have owned an outcome metric, not just a ticket queue
I can push back on unrealistic timelines and renegotiate scope
