AWS Folks: What are the exit opps for Sr Product managers vs Eng. Manager/Project/Program Manager? Which of these roles is better suited for my background? tia!

For context, Non Tech background with MBA, however, got the AWS SA recently to write better proposals and to help with my sales role as I now understand the services better. Given my MBA and buss. background & my interest in BD does AWS SA Pro make sense (as I never plan to be hands-on)?

How were u a SA with only business background? Isnt it a technical role and if not, what were ur responsibilities? Would be great to know so that I could provide my 2 cents

Thank you. I was never a SA on the delivery side.

I took the SA to get a better handle on the services AWS offered. This helped me in 2 ways - In the projects I was supporting, I had a better understanding of the discussions of the technical team & I could actually add value to proposal and capture work.
