Thanks for watching! ☺️

Solution architect in many cases (in vendors, not in house roles) is another name for solution consultant or solution engineer. It is a customer facing role and mostly responsible for pre-sales work. But in AWS, the SA seems also need to involve in some of the post sales consultant effort to ensure the cloud utilization and adoption rate.

Thanks for this informative video Lucy, please create more day in the life of a solutions architect videos

Hi Cayla, thanks for the kind message, really glad you found the videos helpful! 😊 All the best with your cloud journey and let me know if you need any more help

Super nice explanation! I am preparing for the solutions architect exam. Looking forward to breaking into the industry! You got yourself a subscriber already.

I stumbled on your page a few weeks ago and any video I watch fills me with the energy to do more to be like you. I certified as a solutions architect associate a few weeks ago and now looking for my new gig. working on some personal projects to get some experience.

Lucy, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! As someone who is looking to make a career shift later in life, your insight, approachable presence, and honesty have been very important for me!! Although I still have a long way to go, I am eager to join AWS once I have put in the hard work on my certifications!

This was awesome Lucy, thank you so much! I just recently separated from the military and have been venturing in the AWS Cloud environment, recently passed my CCP exam and currently working on my SAA! Your video really put the cherry on top as far as what I want for a work environment!! What would you recommend as far as getting exposure with AWS recruiters??

Thanks! This role sounds chilled! Like there’s some breathing space. this is great.

Helpful thank you. I love the mic!

Hey Lucy, glad to see you back to uploading on YT! Do you have any specific tips for landing an interview for the TechU program or an SA Internship? I achieved the SA Pro, joined the AWS Student Ambassador program and have tailored my personal projects/work experience around my consulting and AWS-powered POC's. Should I be focusing my resume around a certain tech stack or is it better to have my projects use a variety to show a breadth of knowledge? Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Lucy, being at Amazon, which is known as a data driven organisation, as a Solutions Architect do you have deliverable, like code for a developer, that you need to create for every customer project? Something like a document tracing business problem/requirement to design decision to tools/products recommended, which can then shared internally in the organisation or with the external audience. That way, the solution is not contained to just the architect's mind, but open for review, learning and continuous improvement.

Hi, Lucy can you make a video, of how actually you started preparing and what are the things you have worked on to become a solutions Architect.

Thanks for your content, it's awesome! I have a question, do you recommend have experience working on the cloud before to get a certificate ?

Are you from development background? Then devops would be a good fit for you If you're from system administration background then part of devops is still good like mastering in kubernetes, any scripting like powershell or pythons or bash would definitely give you an edge All these should top on aws or azure speciality Thanks

How much different is an SA compared to a TAM? Started at AWS last month as an ADC engineer (pretty much a CSE) and looking into becoming an SA or TAM 😁

Hey, thanks for the video & explanation. I have one more query, is it a role for people with MBA qualification or this can also be offered to tech. people only ? As alot of time, SAs are doing management stuff such as interacting with clients, managing new joinee/intern etc.; So I am abit confused whether it is applicable for people with MBA or not ? Kindly clarify it as i am someone with an MBA & want to get into a management type positiob at Amazon. So need your help in this. TIA

Hope you can find the time to answer my question. No tech background but I just passed my Cloud Practitioner exam, started a course for the SAA. Do I need to learn any coding languages? How can I gain the experience necessary to get a job as an AWS SA without prior experience but with my certs? Thank you in advance. I’m confused and just need some guidance.

Hi Lucy, thank you for the thorough and informed content you make! I recently got my CCP certification! I am a software tester - both manual and automation - and I am currently not doing anything directly in the cloud; not because I don't want to, but because there isn't a direct opportunity. Do you think I should still pursue a SAA certificate, and if yes, why?

Why did you choose this direction for your career? You say interacting with customers, Is it face to face or online? Do you go into an office everyday? Thanks for responding.

Who are the team members that work directly with the customer gathering requirements?

Hi Lucy I love your videos thank you please how can I do the program u did am just new in my IT career

Hi Lucy. AWS is retiring this course. Your thoughts? What will replace this course?

Thanks for the great video! Would a CSA/CSE role be a good place to start to grow into a solutions architect role at AWS? I am a network technician and going to school at WGU for AWS Cloud Computing. I will be gaining CCP and all associate level AWS certifications and trying to decide which route I want to go. Will be graduating May 2023 I am not near an AWS or Amazon office. Would this be a role I can potentially do from home with some travel? I don't mind traveling, just not 24/7. Or would I need to look at a more technical role for that? You also mentioned another team that actually builds out customer environments in AWS. What role would that be and would a CSA also be a good entry point? Or would you have another recommendation for entry. I only ask about the CSA role as it can be WFH and I know WGU graduates get offered CSA roles regularly and I can aim for that near my graduation date next year, if I want. Thanks!
