How we became AWS Solutions Architects 

Huge shout out to you for posting this. I'm an architect too and I'm one year away from graduating, and like Rachel I'm also shifting to tech. Currently studying for my SA Pro. Highly motivated after seeing this 🙌

It’s always best to hear a fresh perspective and to get a reminder on needed skill sets. 😎🍷

The fact that Rachel came from a building architecture background just like me, is every bit encouraging!!!!!!

Hey love your videos and insight. I just changed my major to Cloud computing so I am looking forward to this journey ahead.

Got my cloud practitioner and Solution Architect Associate, and Solution Architect Pro in 3 weeks. Use the practice exams, you don’t really need to know this stuff 😂😂😅

This is awesome! I'm a mine geologist and am interested in making a transition to this job role. Thanks for featuring this story! All of your videos have been great so far--thank you!!

Thanks for sharing your experience information

wow this is encouraging i just have the passion of becoming an AWS solutions architect as a begginer from a neutral background where do i start?

Stumbled upon your channel and found your videos very informative. Will join your slack channel. Thanks …. Keep posting awesomeness

I work as system analyst in Cobol/Mainframe and I want to learn and gain experience in cloud but with no cloud experience how could I begin? What would you suggest?

Thank You, it was very useful. Thanks, Lucy

Hi Lucy/Rachel, I am interested to know if the majority of people who come into AWS have a degree background? I am trained up to level 4 (HNC) as a civil engineer, but thinking of moving over to tech, does this sound plausible to you?

Hello, really interesting videos - thanks. Could you recommend any more practical experience i can do to become a cloud solutions architect?

Is the AWS Solutions free digital class an associates level that will prepare me for the solutions architect exam?

Thank you very much for this information! It was very helpful! Cheers!

Do I need to get a degree in anything computer science. I’m making a transition from medical field to IT I’ve been learning python already and other stuff from previously pursuing data analyst and UI/UX developer?

Thanks for sharing

Can someone from commerce background became solution architect?

AWS = Asians With Skills. Great video Ladies !!!

Hi Lucy, Please tell me how to apply for job in Amazon as a SA? Process Thank you in Advance :)

average salary of solution architect?sorry to ask if u don't mind how much do u get paid in ur country?

Smart girl she knows her architecture degree is not taking her nowhere

🚘👈💏💏

Hi! I understand that the SA does not write code for the clients. My questions is does the AWS SA performs technical solutions frequently or is the role more towards project management in the sense there is lots of clients alignment meetings?

Im currently in IT and just pass my AWS Practioner Exam last week, studying for AWS Solution Architect Exam to take in 4weeks. hoping to make transition into Solution Architect role, this video helps

A sa is basically a business/salesman you'll speak to higher ups about what would be best for their business and the engineers are the ones that actually build/fix.

Hi, your videos have been very helpful, as I am concerning switching my career firm health care to cloud. I am a working parent and was wondering if most cloud practitioner and solutions architect jobs are remote or are they now being requested to come back to the office since COVID has been going down?

Thank you ladies! This was very informative!

Lucy thanks for helping, I earned prac cert now I'm preparing for SSA.

Thank you Lucy for another great video 👍😊

No writing code? No thanks. I don't care about the money. I care about problem solving through design + code.

Real world requirments : Background in any of the following: Cloud Architecture, Systems Design, Software Development, Infrastructure Architecture, Data Engineering or DevOps. Technical Degree (Computer Science, Maths, Engineering or equivalent) and/or relevant tech experience. What are you talking about in this video?! 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for your video. That gave me a lot of info behind ❤️❤️❤️

are you already married?

Basically, learn software development. It covers most bases

Thank you ladies! I am currently taking up Organizational Psychology. I am also enrolled in solutions architecture certification and training on AWS site. ❤

I'm currently working in IT as a networking admin, but would like to transition to become an AWS SA. I'm currently enrolled in "Solutions Architect Learning Plan", but aren't sure if this is where i should "begin". Do you think this is the right step? let me know!

awesome video i am from India my father only manages to earn10000 dollars in a year please mentor me miss Lucy and tell me how to become a A successfull cloud architect and free resources available that will help me

Dear Mrs Lucy,do I need some kind of networking background to become a cloud computing specialist.

How we can get an internship at Aws before clearing a certification?

Luv when person tells you how they got a job, they then say they werent qualified to get

Thank you very much! Very insightful

You miss the core requisite you have to have to be hired by Amazon...you have to wear glasses 😉

4 year degree in 2 years?

Hi! Is the slack Still active ? I tried to join but the link is no longer valid 😕

Thanks for this

This was great! Thanks ladies 😊

Does the slack group still exist? If so is there a new link I can use to join?

Hi Lucy, I am very intrested in getting certified as an SA. Does this role require coding, I'm not sure you specifically mentioned that in the video. If yes, what coding language should someone interested in this career path learn? Thank you.

I don't know coding Is that possible, I'm able to become a AWS solution architect?

,💜

Helpful info, thanks

Do you guys work remotely? 😇🏡

Am absolute beginner. Started on 1 july 2024. Am excited to watch your videos. Very helpful. Thank you. Ankit

To have approved a stupid exam does not mean that you are a real architect. It only means you have approved the exam, nothing more. By the way, a simple and very basic in difficulty exam..

What happens after one passes SA exam, do then get a job or apply for one?

Hi lucy. I have passed aws cloud practitioner cert. Shall i get any jobs with this certification before getting into solution architect associate exam?

Sisters!!!!

So they don't care about your coding skills? Is there anything you need to code for?

For a fresh graduate of computer engineering, currently learning AWS, what are the chances of learning an entry level role

rachel's aussie accent is so good

So it sounds like a solutions architect is a sales rep for AWS?

I'm doing the exact same thing. I just graduated with my bachelors in architecture but have come to the conclusion that it may not be for me. I'm interested in transitioning into AWS as a solution architect instead, but I've been hearing so many different ways, do's and don'ts on how to start that i feel like i still have no real foothold on how to start.

May i know the base salary for SA?

Thank you !

Nice video thank you lucy , and keep this kind of videos , question can you work remotely in Amazon ،( work , or internship) , thank you 🤗🤗💯💯

Thank you for sharing.. Lucy 🤗

ma'am are you single?

Hello. I really appreciate this discussion. It's quite insightful. Am quite interested in becoming a SA. Am currently a cloud support engineer. How do I fully transition to a SA? Are there other requirements from AWS for one to become an SA with AWS?

The ability to converse comfortably with c-suite executives is a large gap in my skill-set. I have one pro cert and I'm working on the second so I'm somewhat there from a technical stance (I still have lots to learn). How long did it take you to get comfortable talking to customers and helping shape their opinions?

hey Lucy is your slack community still active? the link doesn't take me anywhere

Hi Lucy, I check aws career page for SA. The basic requirement in almost all SA jobs is an experience of 5+. Can you guide me about this?

Hi , I have done SAA certification with 1 year IT experience , I want to move in cloud job ,but I'm unable to find any job , what should I do?
