Are these roles similar ? Former seems to be more sales and later delivery. What would be compensation differences ?

      Solution Architect is PreSales, Cloud Architect is Post Sales. But in his post he specifically says Professional Services Architect for AWS, which I have to assume is post sales as well.

  • I have a similar situation. GCP enterprise architect role Vs AWS senior SA. Which one is better and which organisation is better to work for from a long term perspective. From compensation point of view, which is better. I have a current offer from AWS and GCP is in process.

    GCP is Presales, and AWS Architect is Post Sales.

    You’ll do far more hands on project work in PS, and more consulting/selling/prototyping as a CE with GCP.

    Major difference is that a GCP CE has a large variable comp component (42%). A lot of upside if you exceed your quota but unsure how common that is at GCP and in my experience, never assume you will meet your quota annually.
