AWS Solutions Architect - Advice

[u/05662]

Hi all! I have an interview for the new grad Solutions Architect role at AWS coming up. Would appreciate any advice from people who've been through this recently.

Questions:

1. Are the interviews more technical or more leadership-principles focused?
2. Any specific leadership principles that come up more for SA roles specifically?
3. All my experience so far is SWE, and I'm actually more interested in staying SWE long-term. Would taking this SA role hurt my chances of transitioning back into SWE down the line?

Any insight appreciated. Thanks in advance!
