AWS Solutions Architect vs ProServ?
Which one is better to go into early-in-career? So SAs are more pre-sales and working with AWS sales teams, and ProServ Cloud Architects focus more on implementation and working with partners? ProServ seems like you can develop more technical skills, whereas SAs you can develop more soft skills? What is your recommendation?
Both SA and Cloud Consultants use the same job code and pay range. ProServ is great for developing skills but some consultants feel like they're burning out due to utilization metrics and become SAs down the road. I think ProServ to SA is easier than SA to ProServ (if you fall behind technically), but that's just my opinion. Both are great roles and both will work together and with sales teams.
Not true. I have seen SAs to proserv is very easy viceversa is difficult. SAs will have higher comp and a Sales quota.
At Amazon? SAs and Consultants are the same exact job code and there isnt a sales quota or commission....
IMHO, you have to acquire technical skill first in order to have a trustworthy and professional conversation about technical solutions. Are there any new-grad-level SA positions at all?
There’s the AWS Tech U program where you can apply to be either in ProServ or be an SA. Do many people transition from both?
