611 senior solutions architect interview questions shared by candidates

Since this was a specialist Solutions Architect role (security), there was a deep dive into the security space, but also an array of other tech questions. Outside of pre-prepared questions, I was asked to further describe projects I had listed on my resume/highlight list and discuss security/solution decisions at each step of the architecture. Very well-rounded technical discussions, hard to capture everything, but keep in mind this was for a specialist SA role.
