Anyone take the AWS architect exam with no hands on work experience? How long should I expect to study for the exam? Any and all tips are welcome.

1 to 3 weeks should be good depending on how much time you spend per day and how focused you are. Hands on not mandatory. All you need to get through the exam is theoretical knowledge of system architecture/design .

Yeah. I have. I took the udemy class, took practice test in about two weeks passed the AWS architect associate… no on hands experience other than opening my AWS account and following along on some of the concepts in the class. I do have architect experience in knowing application architecture and having experience in a team moving to AWS, but never participated in building any of it.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
