5,700 technical solutions architect interview questions shared by candidates

Tell me about something you built that was all your own? Hardest technical questions were: whats a router, load balancing and some DNS stuff specific to AWS. Some questions about describing yourself as a slogan. A few questions on my current AWS deployment. My recommendation is to make it sound like you did everything AWS style regardless if it actual is a good fit you the reality of your deployment. Not everyone runs Wordpress or LAMP. Good luck!

first is a technical screening, similar to other already published, what happens when you click on the browser in as many details as possible. difference between tcp/udp. the interviewer seems knowledgeable. the second is a role play, speaking with CEO about cloud. I had the impression both went good but didnt get the final stage. I believe although they dont publicize AWS is looking for strong infrastructure specialists (IaaS) so maybe proviles like mine more application centric dont fit 100%. Asked a feedback and didnt receive any answer so I gave negative here.

I signed an NDA. If you're applying to work for a any large technology company, you should be able to answer at least 90% of the multi-domain technical questions. The 40-50 behavioral questions is what you have to try to be prepared for.
