For any given implementation decision, be prepared to present several options but be sure to provide your recommendation with rationale.
You will stand out as a great resource if you are truly able to “consult” rather that jot down requests from a customer and implement them.

In terms of prep, I’d recommend making a quick outline of your experience with various industries and areas of the platform. After you’ve identified areas you have mastered, group areas you need to work on in two groups: short term and longer term.
Think about what you want to be doing five years from now and have a response ready for when that answer comes up during the interview process.

Appreciate that! 👍🏼
