i have below two offers : one offer from microsoft where role is cloud solution architect customer facing. second offer from airasia where role is senior manager of data engineering team(using google cloud) currently i am aws data engineering architect / team lead. i am bit confused which one would be better for career growth...
Solution architect for sure. You will learn a ton, travel, expand your network, gain tons more presentation and selling skills as an architect. Cloud is a bonus. Industry is where consultants go to die. You will accomplish nothing, and will hate every second of it.
But here cloud solution architect is for pre sales aka consultants
Do you want hands on and do/break things or talk and be stuck in sales conversations? There is your decision
Then a field sales role like SA will likely not be what you are after. YMMV as always
Can we move from customer facing to development team at Microsoft later ? Is it easy or tough ?

It depends on where you want your career to go. If you want to be customer facing, go Microsoft. If you prefer to be internal and stay closer to engineering, choose Airasia. But grain of salt, see username.
