Transferring to Infra from Product as E5?

Just got promoted to E5.

I'm doing well in my product team and confident I’ll keep performing, but the technical learning is shallow. The work is more about organizing SWEs/XFNs, aligning stakeholders, and wearing multiple hats (PM, design, data eng, etc.).

I’m good at this—soft skills have always been my strength. But the technical skills I’m gaining aren’t that "valuable." It’s mostly fullstack work relying on frameworks like React, which any decent developer can do.

I feel like I’m missing out by not working on infra, where I could develop harder, more foundational skills (distributed systems, scalability, performance, reliability). These seem more transferable outside of Meta.

The problem is, I struggled in infra before (short stint at a prior big tech company), while I’ve thrived in product. Not sure if I’d do well or just flop again—and now’s a bad time to underperform. Maybe I should be leaning on my strengths (soft skills) and accept the fact I don't have much of a technical edge for doing really well in Infra.

I’m confident I can hit E6 in product, but will I get stuck there? Would switching to infra give me a better shot at E7+ and better opportunities outside Meta? Am I wrong?
