I’m completely new to Google cloud but I’m from CS background. I know programming, SQL, networking concepts, operating systems concepts etc. How long will it take me to prepare and pass GCP solutions architect certification? What’s your recommendation for preparing?

Which cert? Professional cloud and cert? Should take you two weeks. You need to understand some gcp-centric concepts and a decent amount of kubernetes. The networking knowledge will help but the other two not so much.

Professional cloud architect certification

I watched couple of videos on a cloud guru, was able to relate with everything. Didn’t find it difficult till now.

Currently C level (target promo next summer). Been mostly on finance transformation projects. Worked in strategic finance before that at a f500 healthcare company.
What roles/levels would I be a good candidate for at FAANG/Microsoft/other Big Tech?
No hard technical skills (outside of financial modeling).
I’m also studying for GMAT as t15 MBA is a consideration right now, so I could also try to make the switch after that.
