Any Amazonian AWS Solution Architect here?

Can anyone describe day to day activities of a AWS SA at Amazon? Is the role too technical? Is there hands on technical work? or more like a consultant role? #amazonaws #solutionarchitect #amazon

Design and build end to end solutions utilizing different AWS services, interact with customers and solve their problems and concerns...

When you say build, is there hands on development involved?

Yes

TC for l5 sa at aws?

Amazon _o_ Mar 3, 2020

In Sydney, my comp is 160 base + 20k signon + 20k stocks, so sitting at around $200k. Compared to other SDEs, probably a 10% bump. I was hired on at the early-stages of L5 though. My coworkers probably have an extra 5-10 years of experience.

@ _o_ Very curious you mentioned you are in Sydney, is the camp you said is in USD or AUD?

Is SA an L5 / L6 job? Does it grow as far as L7? Or what’s the career end game here

L4-L7 on the IC track Once you're in Management, Jeff's seat is the limit.

@nutmufnz , you are an Amazon HR. Can you tell me more about the nature of this SA role?
