I chose Springboard because the job guarantee and advertised job placement numbers looked solid at first. They gave me a discount, so the total came out to around 6650, which felt reasonable compared to other programs. I also liked the idea of mentorship and job search support.

I would try to get another sales job that's less stressful and more adjacent to "solutions engineering" and transition to that role over time. Perhaps the company will pay for you to do classes or things on the side or even have internal courses. Choosing a company that has a transition path historically perhaps.
