Hello. Thanks for the information. I have a question. Both of you mention “First line roles”What roles are first line roles. Can you give me five examples? Thanks.
My problem is learning AWS Solutions Architect Associate and remembering everything I need to know for the exam. I did a full class on Udemy recently finished a week ago, and still trying to learn. I want a cloud job but I got to keep working hard at it, with getting the exam done, doing projects, fixing my resume and then hopefully applying for a cloud job. Its tough that's for sure. My hands on skills right now is laptop pc repair for Lenovo I am contracted in through a temp agency.
The best way to learn and retain the knowledge is to use them everyday. By doing projects that use your cloud skills you are more likely to remember them. If you want some high quality cloud projects to not only improve your skills but also make sure you never forget, check out cloudcareermentor.com
Certifications are not enough nor they prepare for an acutal job. Cloud Certs don't cover skills in Networking, Linux, Scripting, Programming, DevOps automation, Databases, DevOps Automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, let alone teach you how to build CI/CD pipes or Kubernetes. You have to leaen all of those skill sets before learning cloud. Those certifications weren't meant to be taken if you lack practical hands on experience and lack of all of those skill sets I mentioned.
Why do we need to know this information now? I would already be working in a support position and trying to move on from there. However, I have been applying for cloud positions for 9 months now with knowledge in 4 Public Cloud providers and DevOps, and I can’t break into it.
Hi Gabriel, the reality is that there is no "One" way to break into cloud. For some people working in a support position, for others they can make the transition directly. For example recently someone on our program went from being a nurse to a cloud engineer. The important thing is to keep building up your skills, keep applying for jobs, have patience and trust in the process
You are giving a lot of valuable information talking to ppl who know what they talking about. Keep grinding my broda, as this channel is going places soon!
@@CloudCareerMentorDevOps Engineers and Cloud Engineers are more mid to senior level roles. Definitely not entry level. You almost need a Sysadmin back since Cloud and DevOps Engineers basically perform syaamin task in the cloud. A lot of Sysadmins often transitions into those roles due to alot of overlap in skill sets especially Linux, Scripting, Databases, Networking, Programming etc. Most modern Sysadmins already use DevOps tools in ther roles esp Ansible. Many also touch cloud that manages both Cloud and On-Prem infrastructure.
@@eman0828 This is mostly true but with the right guidiance people with no experience can get this role, for example by going through my program several people have gotten cloud engineer roles who came from backgrounds like nursing, sales, etc
What if you have a degree in cloud computing and a tech diploma in cybersecurity, along with a GCP ACE certification and multiple labs and projects showcased on LinkedIn? It seems like the entry bar is set too high.
Thanks for your comment, it's really difficult for me speak to your specific situation untill I understand more about what you. What I would say is that there are lots of factors that go into getting a cloud job and they include: - The quality of projects you've done - How impactful your resume is in attracting recruiters - How you're coming across in interviews - plus much more I agree with you that the barrier is high, but on the flip side the high barrier is ther reason why the pay is so good. Trust me if it was low barrier to entry the pay would be garbage :) Keep going and doing the right things and I'm sure you'll get there
What projects can Aws solutions architect associate do to showcase their knowledge? Alot of projects online are for cloud engineers instead of solutions architect .please give us suggestions tailored for SAA co3. Thank you 😊
Hello, thanks for your comment Do you already have a job in the cloud industry? If not then going for Solution Architect roles might be the wrong strategy. Check out this video I made to find out why: th-cam.com/video/Qc7VTX-pZVY/w-d-xo.html

I'm sorry, anyone who says go and pick night shifts to impress the management because no one is doing it, is giving terrible advice. There's a reason no one is doing night shifts and it's as bad for health as tobacco.
I think it all depends on personal circumstances and what opportunities are presented. One of my first job in tech was a night shift role, I was able to that for 3months and build up experience which I was able to leverage to a better paid day job. It's not for everyone, but can be a great way to get a foot in the door in a very competitive industry
