Does anyone have recommendations on resources to study for cloud infrastructure architect positions? I come from a development background so I feel a bit out of my league. Got past round 1 but a little worried about my final round.

Not a concrete resource, but do some searching about interview questions for the role. Read a bit more about the topics and questions they've asked from you during round 1, there might be a good overlap in the next round's topics.

Right on for getting past round 1! I'd suggest using a mock interview platform like carrus or interview kick start to prep and maybe hitting udemy or similar site for specific study material

Congrats on making it to the next step! I'd recommend checking out some of the courses on Udemy and Coursera. AWS and Google Cloud have some decent resources as well.

Good luck on the next round! I agree with SA 1 and SD 1. Udemy is great for specific study material. Read up cloud infrastructure in general so that you become more comfortable discussing your potential role in the company.

Rumor has it that the Google cloud architect cert focuses on how to properly architect solutions

Don't get the cert. Use the book to learn how to create architectures

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
