Software Architect Interview Questions

"As a software architect, you will be making high level decisions about the design and implementation of a company's software. During the interview process, expect to be tested on your knowledge of software tools and languages and their uses and limitations, as well as your ability to lead software engineers to help you accomplish your vision. A bachelor's degree in software engineering, computer science, or a related field is expected."

Coding questions was easy for me due to this being a solution architect position and I am a SWE that grind leetcode for fun. I probably didn't get an offer due to my lack of past solution architect experiences, behavior, and overly high compensation level for this position. Recruiter was bad though.

Not difficult, per se, but unexpected: one interviewer asked me to name several different sorting algorithms and rank them by their computational complexity. Unexpected because I've never had such a discussion with a customer, no matter how technical; the question would have been more appropriate for an engineer being hired into their kernel group but the interviewers didn't seem to know the difference.
