> This has been a question I've had too. How do you get to show you have experience in enterprise software/tech if you've not been given the chance to work in a setting that uses something like that before?

Personally, I believe the answer is right place right time, as disappointing as it may sound. A large amount of people I know working these sort of roles are there because Company X in the domain recruited them from University pipelines where they attended and that seems to be almost exclusively where the companies source “entry level” hires for these domains.

I still think it’s possible to get there from somewhere else, it just requires slightly different skill sets and a lot more work.
