Hi Venkat, I’ve worked as a TAM and coached candidates for AWS Sr. TAM interviews. The phone screen typically evaluates AWS technical depth, customer management, leadership, and real-world scenario handling.

I’d suggest these topics:

  1. AWS technical fundamentals — architecture, networking, security/IAM, reliability, databases, monitoring, cost optimization.

  2. Customer-facing scenarios — escalations, difficult customers, competing priorities, executive communication.

  3. Technical troubleshooting — how you approach outages, performance issues, and ambiguous problems.

  4. Leadership & influence — influencing without authority, stakeholder management, driving adoption.

  5. Cloud transformation — migration, modernization, operational excellence, Well-Architected thinking.

I offer 1:1 coaching with role-specific preparation + mock interview and feedback. Happy to help you prepare specifically for your upcoming screen
