Why engineering + marketing can fit

You already know how to solve problems. Marketing teaches which customer problem to solve.

The transition is not about abandoning engineering. It is about adding customer understanding, communication, growth strategy and channel execution to your technical strengths.

Hypothesis → test → measure → improve is common to both engineering and performance marketing.
