The part where the guest speaker talked about balancing success stories with those that didn’t go well resonated with me strongly. At the end of the day, constant effort of growing is way more important and realistic than trying to present a picture of perfection.
I was really hoping to hear about non-it folks breaking into cloud. That would be super useful.

Good feedback, will make a note of that.
Let's give our L7 AWS Guest Speaker a thumbs up! Which part of the interview is your favorite?

The whole interview felt so grounded in terms of how honest and humble he is as a person . Inspires me like any rags to riches story. There is more than "AWS" to learn from him.. Thanks Holly for doing this.

@@poornimamenon740 Most employees struggles to land an offer at Amazon and find the work rewarding once they get there - that is, if they are looking for growth in skills and leadership.
Thank you for bringing Mr.Prasad . I admire him a lot

He is also an amazing speaker!
Okay. I might sound rude but I have to say that there's some bluffing going on over here. I just had my very first interview for the Principal Solutions Architect and I couldn't even clear the phone screening round. That's right; with an experience of more than 2 decades out of which the past few years have been in the cloud as an architect. And here Mr Rao says he wasn't even serious for the first few rounds because he "was sure he wasn't gonna clear it" (so was I, but I was still dead serious and prepared accordingly) ! Are we to seriously believe that a candidate could sail through the Amazon selection process without any relevant skill or seriousness? It's my understanding that the interview process is so rigorous by design that it's supposed to weed out exactly these kind of candidates; those who do not possess a deep expertise or aren't serious or both. So what could be going on here then? Obviously Mr Rao possessed the expertise to get through the rigorous interview process. He was serious too. But, for the heck of this interview, it appears that he's pretending (sorry, Prasad) that he wasn't serious. For those who don't know, it's sort of a cultural thing here in India to be dismissive of the efforts you're putting in for studies in schools/colleges or for a job. Kids and young people would study in clandestine, get good marks but pretend to act surprised when they score exceedingly well. Why is this even a thing is beyond me as well ! But that's what Mr Rao appears to be doing here, which is simply unnecessary.
