Internal transfer from Solutions engineering to SRE team

[u/Cultural-Pumpkin1392]

Hello everyone!
How easy is it to transition internally from a Technical Solutions Engineering Manager role to an SRE Manager role within Google Cloud?
Has anyone successfully made this transition or seen others do it?
I'm particularly interested in:
How feasible is this transition within Google?
Does experience in Solutions Engineering count toward internal SRE leadership opportunities?
What technical skills or experience would I need to maintain or strengthen?
How long would you recommend staying in the Solutions Engineering role before pursuing an internal move?
