Until you have to work 80 hours a week to complete the tasks. I work in Cloud and for a company who handles a lot of Cloud services. The Architects are the highest paid, and trust me, they should be paid that way. You need to have a lot of knowledge about all infrastructure, and can be asked any question about ANYTHING. They also work long hours customizing architecture for customers and are on non-stop calls. It’s not an easy gig
@@mystical_encounter They are completely different roles. The Cloud Architect usually listens to customer problems/needs, and designs the best solution for them. The Cloud Engineer usually does the actual implementation of that design, or if on the customer side, is essentially the admin on the environment (day to day resource involvement)
I passed the CCP 2 weeks ago and now studying for the SAA. The SA role is something I'm interested in because of the customer interaction and design. Thank you for the great explanation!
Lucy, if you can, could you interview someone who works in a Cloud Provider but more focused on Networking, like with routing protocols, traffic engineering, etc... Because this is my area and I'm very curious to see how their day-by-day looks like, thank you!
In the U.S. these salaries may overlap depending on both the company and the state. The sources I've used put the range a bit lower on some of the titles mentioned here. Also, average salary assumes you have been doing it a while. Therefore, it's not likely what a newbie or entry-level employee will earn. In some cases, the bigger the company, the better the salary. Some cases. Even the big companies will low ball you. Learn how to negotiate and leverage your training, experience, and education.
Great explanation! I have finished my cloud certification course through AWS and now preparing for the exam. Lucy has been very helpful in learning and motivating ❤.
Hey I just wanted to know who are some of the customers you deal with on a day to day basis are they banks, insurance companies or just majority small businesses?
1:03 Pronouncing secure (suh'kyour{e}) as Secure (suh’coo-wah) in her cute🥰 accent. Then 1:45 got sophisticated👑 with security (suh'kyur·ruh·tee). 2:25 I didn't know that about the role name comparisons. I've learned something today. #TIL
Thanks Lucy.. this is exactly the kind of video I needed...I am on my way to get the Solutions architect Associate certification..already spent around 90 hrs studying.. So glad you explain that both tech + soft skills are needed...hopefully I can join the industry soon! Thanks for doing what you do
What about Cloud Administrator (Cloud Engineer) who responsible for managing and overseeing the operations of cloud computing environments within an organization. They play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation, security, and efficiency of cloud infrastructure and services. Also Cloud Developer, Cloud Database engineer , Cloud Security, ... etc
Suggestion for video: How to figure out which AWS service (EC2, Lambda, Lighsail, Fargate, etc) is the most suitable for each kind of website with examples. Aws has so many options I get totally lost there... it would be helpful if they add examples in the Docs.
Hi Lucy, thank you for doing this video. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Can you please make a video about how to start with the SDR role?. Thank you.
Hi Lucy I love your insightful explanations, they are always well researched and clear. I cannot stress how many other youtubers cannot cut to the chase, unlike you. BTW the fact that you are an insider to a major firm is the icing on the cake. Great info.
Is a master's degree needed in Computer science I've watched the fundamentals needed even before you start the training as a cloud engineer 10 year's in the making to gain all that knowledge
Hi Lucy, there are lots of security services in Aws. But sometimes it's creating a confusion that which security services stands for particularly operation, so please make a one video where u explain the Security services only
AWS cloud engineers for the win!! Coming from Ethical H4cking and conducting pen tests this has been a positive change.. also nice thing about the cloud services they are only going to grow :)
Since Lucy isn't a cloud SDR/BDR I can provide some answers people are looking for. I currently work for a major partner of AWS. Fire away if you have questions. In the salary section she highlighted $137k as the salary which is true if you are crushing your numbers. base will be around $40-80k USD depending on requirements and experience level with bonuses of around $20k or more typically
Hey Lucy! I heard that the cloud support engineer career can be stressful since everyday is like a new day but this is what appeals to me the most. I'm currently learning about working in the cloud on A Cloud Guru. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing Lucy! I just had a thought which is that it seems like Solutions Architect seems to combine the technical expertise of the Cloud Architect along with the ability to understand customer need (which is more of a sales skill). Must be interesting work :)
MY FAVORITE IS AWS SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT ENGINEER ING ROLE PLEASE CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON DEVOPS ENGINEERING OPPORTUNITIES IN 2023 THANK YOU GREAT CONTENT.
Hey Lucy thanks for the video, can you make a video on AWS Assessment exam for topics like how to prepare some study materials, just a guide video on how to crack AWS Assessment. Thanks
Hey Lucy , i completed AWS solution architect course now how can I get job based on AWS solution architect , i am fresher? Can you tell me where I can find solution architect job?
Got my solution architect certificate last week now looking into some handson workshops so i can increase my chance of being hired anything you recommend which will help me
I think it’s going to be cool to see azure integrate with ChatGPT / open AI - hard to say if it will impact growth, but it may lead to cool opportunities
Hey what's up Lucy! Good to see u! Thank you so much for this important video! I'm about to take the SAA exam next month and then LAB LAB LAB to get ready for the cloud workforce. This video gives me a great baseline of salary ranges and a great resource to keep track of the salaries here in the U.S. And I must say, these numbers are quite nice! Well once again, thank you for all that you do for us and I'll see you in the next one! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Cheers!!!
I graduated last year with an Associates in Cloud Computing, and currently hold my AWS SAA cert and working towards my Terraform cert. Every job posting wants a masters or 10+ years experience. Any tips on how to land your first job in the CC world?
Hi Lucy, ur new subscriber. I would need ur help in landing a job in AWS. Currently I am an application support engineer. I am doing a udemy course in AWS solutions architect. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I am SDR for a Amazon Partner in India. Thanks for this video. It's not technical role but it's most difficult to influence CXO to opt for AWS since they are premium priced.. Please make video of AWS vs On Prem server with respect to Networking, Security etc. There is no video on this comparison and advantages of AWS.
Hi Tech With Lucy - How do you see these jobs being impacted by the likes of chatGPT and the AI evolution. In my humble opinion, and I work in Technology, there is too much scare tactics being evoked I think for wage pressure reasons. I think it will take AI any kind of AI, atleast another ten years to replace the cloud jobs. But wanted to hear your perspective/advise.
Thanks for sharing Lucy, I had no idea about the differences among these areas, now it more clear for me and the 5th one, Cloud Support Engineer looks like the one more exited as I love to be involved in troubleshooting and solving problems.
Hi Lucy! Thanks for the wonderful videos you upload for us. I have two questions on behalf of my friend - 1. Can he (30 YO and a sales manager at a Financial services company in India) transition into a cloud role in tech by learning AWS and getting the certifications ? 2. What is the usual time-frame that people to consume the educational material, get certified before they are able to find entry level roles? Some more background - He doesn't have a B.Tech. He hails from a B.Com & MBA (in Marketing & HR background) and has a work experience of 5.3 Years in Sales & Accounts/Admin roles in early part of his career.
Hi Lucy, I have a question that I wish you would make a video about it in your next videos 🌹 I am now learning the cloud and I got my first certificate and I am now studying for the Solutions Architect Associate But the problem for me is that I live in the Middle East (specifically in Iraq) so online work is my only chance, and I don't know if I will get an online job 😮💨 thinking about that always prevents me from continuing to learn and frustrates me 😥 Because I always wonder if all this time and studying will benefit me or if it is a waste of time
