How can I tell/what is the difference between the Sales Engineer (SE), Solutions Engineer (SE), and Solutions Consultant (SC) and solutions architect (SA) titles? I feel like a lot of tech companies use these titles interchangeably, and it really just depends on the company. Am I correct or am I missing something? What’s the difference between these three roles?

You have to read the job description.

I would have to think you are right in that many companies want to differentiate themselves with varied position names. Some do have discrete differences in duties, but many are just different names for the same position. Read the job description, make your own decision as to whether or not they are the same or not. Maybe even apply of one that you don't think fits, you never know what the writer was thinking when they wrote it, you may be just what they wanted but weren't able to put into a job description. Take a chance.

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
