Hey Lucy, I'm 3 months in on my preparation to learn python and get an AWS certification (precisely Associate Solutions Architect). I want to ask if you have an idea of the possibilities of getting a job as an AWS cloud engineer or solutions architect in Amazon from Nigeria?
Very informative ! I am an undergrad and got an job offer also from big 4 as an analyst of cyber role. But I love to work on cloud hopefully I see you all in few years. yay 😄
She makes it sound easier than it is. First of all you need a Computer Science degree from a top school just to break into Deloitte Cyber Security. Then she obviously prepared a lot to understand network, infrastructure, and cloud prior to applying her knowledge on personal projects even before attempting interviews for AWS cloud positions. For people who do not have the luxury of attending a top school and being employed by Deloitte, you're looking at 3-5 years of IT Help and support roles just to get that first position in a cyber or cloud domain, along with having a much harder time applying projects, since some of her knowledge came from within Deloitte itself. Most new people will need security+, net+, and maybe even A+ if you are a complete beginner. She is so fortunate, but hard work early in life (high school) does pay off.
The information you shared is not true. I worked at the D. - in cyber. I worked with folks whom studied music or sociology and they worked in cyber at the D or other high end companies.
Hi Lucy right now I am trying to add --CLOUD AND NETWORKING FUNDAMENTALS. --LINUX --PYTHON --SQL(KEEPING IT OPTIONAL RN) what else skills are needed to become a cloud engineer or to get a job as a Solutions Architect Associate or landing a DevOps role.
Try automating tools for both provisioning and orchestrating. It’s a must for devops to know terraform and ansible beside python nowadays. Also look at kubernetes or dockers. Tech industry is moving toward containers nowadays so it’s very important to know
Hey what's up Lucy! Hope all is well with you! Thank you once again for an excellent video on this topic that is near and dear to me. I am leaning towards being a cloud engineer and you and you guest provided information that answered all of my top questions. So again thank you very much and I'll see u in the next one! Be well, Be safe and Cheers!
Thanks so much for the information. I'm looking forward to start my career in AWS and this will definitely help me in focusing on the topics I should prepare for interviews
Hi Lucy, Elisa, nice video! Elisa I think you helped my team with a CloudHSM issue a few months back. Didn't realise you were also based in Sydney, thanks again for helping us troubleshoot those issues!
@@TechwithLucy I appreciate the way you explaining what roles are customer facing and which are not. What are the subject for future interviews? Thanks again.
thanks you for the videos Lucy. Please keep them coming. Can you you tell me if there are any roles in cloud where you don't interact with customers? at least not on a regular basis?
More videos coming soon! 😀 Yep, an example is Software Development Engineers. These roles are more product-focused. They will spend majority of their time working with people internally, rather than AWS customers.
I'm currently working on the CCNA but really looking to get into cloud. Thank you for this video as it gives me some good things to think about for a cloud engineer role. Cheers.
Hi Lucy, Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge .Could you please make a video on Real time hands on scenarios that you deal with in your daily work.Thanks !
How much networking experience do you need? I suspect new grads with CS degrees aren't going to have a lot fresh out of graduation or even after a year.
in doing AWS SAA certification and then terraform cert followed by GCP cert. This is a wide open high demand job. AWS will be here for yearss to come. Do not let things discourage you. You will get a job as long as you stay consistent
Cloud = someone else's computer. Thats what I always say, which is why you need Operating System knowledge 😃👍 thanks for explaining this, we have similar style
Hi Lucy, my name is Mauricio and I'm from Brazil. First of all, sorry for my english, it's terrible. I'd like to do some questions. The role for AWS Cloud Engineer is the same AWS Cloud Support Engineer ? When a person got a job like AWS Cloud Support Engineer, he or she receive some tranning to support a group of specify services?
“There was no coding test/DS questions in the interview for me but I think it could partly to do with the domain I was applying for - if they apply for Cloud Engineering role in let's say DMS (developer and mobile services) I would imagine you would need coding experience to support Amplify or Lambda (not 100% sure, my assumption). I think it's good to have some coding skills for any cloud engineer role though because customers often have SDK related questions for any services. Personally I had scripting experience from work + coding knowledge from uni prior to aws”
Yes right, I work in Insurance industry and handle escalating customer issues. I am also in school for my Tech degree, because I want myself to get out of this “call” umbrella. I have an option to take Cloud computing specialization AWS or AZUR. Can you tell me, if all job involves speak with customer on the phone being a Cloud engineer?
Working directly with external customers for a platform is normally not great tbh. Internally your customers are obviously other teams or coworkers, but external customers are normally the worse- they under explain or don't know enough and explain the wrong into or can't give you proper background.
I am building LLM applications using langchain, langgraph. But I am planning to switch to Aws cloud, make genai application using aws, what roadmap and certifications would you suggest me?
Is she a cloud engineer or a support engineer for aws? I thought cloud engineers are responsible for managing cloud infrastructure for dr ha and scalability. From her description she works as support
She is clearly a junior level cloud SUPPORT engineer who only works on tickets. There is absolutely no way anyone can be an AWS cloud engineer with no cloud exp. Not even with only 1-2 years exp. This video is super misleading.
Hi could u please tell the difference between cloud support associate role and cloud engineer role at aws? I think both of them have the same type of interview rounds.....
Hi Lucy how r u. I want to learn cloud technology but I am non IT person so what you recommend me what should I do first? If I go with aws cloud certification experience is needed? Please tell.thankyou in advance,🙂🙂
Hi Lucy, Good day ! I don't like to code but I want work on cloud domain, can you please help me finding the better role for me as I am not good at coding. Will be waiting for your response Thank you for your efforts ❤
Hi! Recently I received a job offer for a grad Proserve consultant job. Was wondering if you had any insights into how repetitive the job is? I'm concerned that the day to day doesn't change too much (e.g. Gain great knowledge of aws products but repetitive when it comes to client implementation) which really limits the skills that can be developed on the job!
Without having any personal insights regarding the specific job itself, it might be that the wisest move for you depends on how easy you think it is to get a job. If you think it is easy, or if indeed you already have a job, then indeed the details of what this new job position entails would be highly significant. But if you're still new to the industry and particularly if you're still in need of experience, you may also want to consider taking the job itself and seeing how it goes. Either way, you'd be gaining actual real-world experience so that if the position isn't to your taste, you'll nevertheless have added experience to your resume - basically propelling you above many graduates. You may also want to consider what skills you are trying to develop, and ask the hiring manager about the position about your expected day-to-day to see if it aligns with your goals - interviewing is a two-way street after all. Consultancy can be quite "flexible" from a job requirement perspective and, even after considering that, the company that reached out to you may have its own "unique" interpretation of what the job entails. Good luck either way - other people may be able to provide more relevant insights. Fortunately, I don't think there's any truly "wrong" choices, and so I'm sure you'll do great!
She mentioned doing architect too, but can you interview an architect solutions associate/professional cert holder that is just an architect?? Thank youu
Hey Lucy, I'm 3 months in on my preparation to learn python and get an AWS certification (precisely Associate Solutions Architect). I want to ask if you have an idea of the possibilities of getting a job as an AWS cloud engineer or solutions architect in Amazon from Nigeria?
Nice, hope you’re enjoying the cloud journey! 😊 I’d recommend looking out for “Associate” level roles, since they are more entry-level. E.g. A “Cloud Support Associate”. A certification is a great first step - it will also be good to get some hands-on experience through cloud projects.
I am interested in cloud engineering but I do not have any experience nor certifications. What do you Recommend I start with to see if this path really is for me?
It does appear that the start to any AWS cloud role journey begins with the AWS solutions architect certification. I did the cloud essentials from Amazon and passed that but I believe doing the cloud practitioner then the solutions architect is redundant, correct me if I'm wrong, am I better off doing both or am I wasting time and money?
Hi lucy and elisa, first of all, thanks for sharing, but i have few question for this video: can i for aws cloud engineer need programmer skill or other skill need it ? for aws associate level skill is fine? can i have more detail on this role? any different with SA ? based you experience, which role is better and why? sorry for ask too more question Thank you
1. you don't need programming skills 2. aws associate is fine, technically NO aws experience is also fine 3. role is support based. you help customers within a specified technical domain in which you are assigned
Please tell me do Cloud Engineers have 24/7 shift jobs???i work in a 24/7 role as Network Engineer and i am fed up with doing Night shifts due to my health issue, so is moving to Cloud Network Engineer is a good idea for me to work in General or 9 to 5 job?
