Do you know what a VMware TAM is? If not, keep on reading. In this blogpost I will look into some of the sources out there that explains what a VMwareTAM is.
But first, the reason for this blogpost is related to my own career choices. Life has its phases and for me 2021 contains changes to my work life. I’m leaving my current employer and my role as a senior consultant and joining VMware. My first introduction to VMware was around 2008 and has gradually increased since then, through different roles and companies. Today I’m embarking on an exiting new journey as a Technical Account Manager.
You won’t evolve if you never go outside your comfort zone.
Before I applied to the position I had some experience with the TAM Service from the customer-side. But not a whole lot more. And that is probably the case for you as well. If you want to learn more take a look at thees sources.
