Former AWS Solution Architect here, I thought it was the highlight and culminating point of my career to join AWS. I'm obsessed with AWS as well but it was not an enjoyable experience working there. As for pay, they are salary capped, could never make more than a certain amount in my paycheck no matter how long I worked there, how well I performed, or how far I advanced. That's just wrong.
That's correct. I'm a current solutions architect at AWS, and I've been here 5 years. Ping me directly if you'd like to talk about opportunities that fit your skillset.
Kirk, I've been doing IT for 8 years and am currently taking courses and labs on the AWS Training platform. I am grateful for any insight you may wish to share, Thank you!

I heard about their salary caps, but I also heard that they compensate by increasing the number of stock options. Is that correct?
