I don’t think the implementation experience is required for Solutions architect role.

Define implementation experience. In my mind hands on experience is definitely required, but not necessarily development experience

I guess my biggest fear is presenting myself as someone that can do the job, but I have no idea what these jobs really entail on a day to day basis. It's like picking up a new sport that I have never played before. I assume I have the skills, but don't know how to apply them in a Solution Architect role.

Or SFMC? I can help with that too. Not a hard jump if you understand the discovery questions - you can always get past the delivery tech with time.. but just remember, you will be judged accordingly to your peers may have years more tech experience in delivery

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
