Thanks for the video! I just got promoted from swe to post-sales SA role for a consulting firm. Super excited to break into the industry.
@Sarvoth
There is actually a 5th one in my experience, and that is, support. In my company we have SAs in a high level support position, and like you eluded to, its vague enough to fit. These people tend to be a mix of escalation points for tickets, they may review runbooks, or review training for engineers, interface with development on product improvement and resiliency and so forth. Very tech knowledge subject matter expert driven kind of job, but exist outside of the pre or post sales position. SA really is a job title that can be see all over the spectrum.
@creativexface
Been doing SAP for 10 years then shifted to Pre Sales SAP and I never looked back. I am confident + armed with technology consulting experience. This is the most fun job I ever had. Talking to other people and they bombard you with questions. Feels great answering them all.
@smithsmithington
As a pre-sales SA it is cool to find out more about the other routes I could take in my SA career.
@whynotfindme
In my 10+ years experience, i found that interesting, title of Solution Architect in general company it is requested all functions such as pre-sales, post-sales, business and internal solution architect in the same single role. And this is good video to explain specific role for SA! Very good job!
@jsc1227
Im grateful for your insights, Im trying to migrate from Oracle OCI infrastructure architetc to Oracle OIC integration architect, but I know I cant handle heavy programming, thanks for the guidance
@andyjohnbrown
Thought inspiring. I've gone from technical infrastructure roles to post sales SA and now I'm in what you have defined as internal SA. I'm currently feeling uncertain what I want to do going forward. I hadn't really embarrassed what you said about the internal role. Maybe I do need to step out into presales next, or go back to post sales
@Zoids-bf6op
guess i'll have to do post SA first. Working on my azure SA expert certification. Hopefully this helps me get into that role!
@JayMar14
The pre-sale SA sounds fun!!
@SA-cloud
So, I got offered a job as an SA. Seems God has a sense of humour, my initials are SA too 🤔 Anyways, so I got this job as an SA. I was approached as a put my CV on some website. The interview was in 4 parts, which I aced (they told me so), the thing is, I didn't really want the job, and I didn't think about (or really know) about what SA's do. So, then I applied for another co. of which I like their tech, as an SA (who knows how that will go), but now I kinda understand what the role is, I think it's a good fit for me. I'm experienced I've been in tech for years, just never thought about the SA job. Still messing with code or cloud stuff at all hours of the day or night (tech is fun, not sure how you can do this job if you don't love the tech; loving the tech is like a kid playing with his/her favourite toy 😅) - you've gotta have an edge right 😄
@TheBeach5563
Thanks so much. Its good to finally have this explained. I'm not sure if I want to be an SA but everyone says get the SAA cert first because it covers so much. Maybe there are some romote Cloud Infrastructure positions out there tool. I have basic network admin skills.
@dameneko
Currently in my first big internal solutions architect role. Longer term, I do want to get back into engineering management, but I 100% want to do this as a side hustle. I like the intense project and customer focus and the challenge of working within constraints of time, money, and people. I have learned SO much stepping away from software development teams to do this tour as a consultant.
@minhajkhan504
Thanks a ton Trevor! Soooooo beautifully explain. You are such a genius :)
@ronh8391
Fantastic video! Ty Trevor. Good stuff.
@olarius650
you break it down very well !
@hanzo_713
Business development solutions architect. They basically fill all the roles you described 😅
@kenneth3132
Great video and information on SAs, just my 2 cents, this role is really overarching today, I am in a similar role but depending on my customer's needs I have to function as a technical design SA in some cases(network, security, certain IAAS, or API functional deployments, microservices), sometimes I am understanding their problems from a business standpoint and translating viable solutions, and even post deployment support for certain best practices etc. so Day0/Day1/Day2, even Day-1, haha. What's awesome is that we always get to be learning new stuff everyday.
@techrichard
Thank you so much Sir. I love the way you break it down, and finally said, take it easy 😂. I've been a pre-sale person all my life, I think am going to go for it. Secondly, I've prepared so much for the SAA-C02, and it retired August 30th, SAA-C03 emerged. I have failed it once, I don't want to fail this exam again, whizlab and other trainers do not update their materials with the aws console. I would love any advise on how to sit for the C03 exam, i have a week more to write the exam
@melwin-dmello-dev
Thanks a ton for this video.
