The SA role in general is very abstract, requires a technical sales acumen. Be prepared to give presentations to customers and or partners at any given time on a whole swath of services. Usually at the 100-200 level and then some PoCs.
Anything more in-depth gets tossed over to what is called an AoD or area of depth team.. usually 200-300 level. Anything needing a specific focus: SAP, IoT, Security, etc gets tossed to a specialist SA.
In this role, you are not actually helping a client or partner build or implement anything (i.e: not doing hands on keyboard/billable work). Instead you are guiding them to find a solution and helping them use AWS services whether it is via demo, PoC, partnership, etc.
I left because I missed coding, and the travel started to get way too insane.
