Do you have 10+ years building, hands-on exp migrating entire orgs and complex apps into aws infra? No? Then go find an analyst role or junior engineer role. An architect is generally the highest technical role you’ll find before being absolutely Sr. Director and hands away from keyboard.

Many of the architect roles I looked at within AWS were security related (I’m in Infosec) and required significantly more experience, including in regards to AWS. Either way good luck, but note the interview process is intense.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
