Lucy, this is a fantastic video. Short but with all the important information needed. Fantastic job and thank you once again!

[@NBetaB]

Hey Lucy, thanks for the video!!! I recently started looking into cloud and how to get started and this video gave me some great ideas. I really liked how you laid out the 5 steps. I was struggle to put a plan together for my cloud journey but then I saw this video. Now I have starting point. I just finished watching your video about walking away from AWS. One nugget I try to live my life by is, "Have the courage to live a life true to yourself, not the life others expect of you." Keep doing your thang🧑‍💻🖥💪🎉🥳

@@sevimsoffice Yea I understand but it’s hard to know what jobs are realistic for someone with no work experience but have the certs “not mentioning the skillset certs”

Only having certs will be hard to land jobs - so I recommend building technical projects as a minimum. Check out my video on the top 5 cloud computing careers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap-yiH6VlLidaaM All those roles have junior / associate level options

Hello lucy, thanks for your comprehensive career path for cloud computing career. Please which should a beginner learn first; Devops or Cloud? Please send me links on where to start learning either of them. Thanks

[@marcd1981]

Hello again, Lucy. I just came from another of your videos (How you would learn AWS cloud if you could start over), and I have a helpful (hopefully, that is how it is meant) suggestion regarding your video format. In the video above, you bring up specific points (for example, the three role goal and the 20 hour paragraph), but you do not leave them onscreen long enough to read them. I think leaving them onscreen for a couple of more seconds will help the viewer remember your points. The second thing I wanted to ask about is the hands-on experience. From what you stated in this video, the AWS projects you are recommending would seem to get your resume in front of the hiring manager. Do you know of people that have successfully interviewed, or have even been hired, having only these types of projects on their resume and not real-world experience? The preparing for the interview is very good information, especially knowing as much about the company you are interviewing for as you can. And speaking of that, there is always the "Do you have any questions for me?" part of an interview. Do you have any recommendations regarding the questions someone should ask when being interviewed by Amazon? Thank you, again, Happy Holidays!

[@monishaalam985]

Hi Lucy. Your videos are really amazing & easy to understand. I've actually got a question, I am a non-STEM graduate & now want to learn cloud computing, but I'm not sure of it, will it really be possible to complete the journey with no science background? Though I have basic tech knowledge.

[@jacobp8130]

Hi Lucy, do you think it is easy to transition to a different cloud provider? Say I get the AWS Solutions Architect Cert -> you think this would still qualify me as a candidate for an Azure cloud role?

Hey Lucy, I have SAA and developer. Working on sysops, I just can't get a job. Help me

[@bandkaih]

I have my SAA as well, have built projects using AWS resources, and tailored my resume. Even applying to application support roles Im not even getting interviews. I have 10 yrs of finance experience and im trying to lean on those transferrable skills. I think if you dont have a CS degree, or existing experience from a previous role, its extremely hard to get into a role cold. I think thats just the reality of it. You need a cosign from someone. Still working on that myself. I dont think stacking certs is the move anymore as return on investment isnt guaranteed at this point. I think networking is the key. Good luck!

[@DamienMalakay]

ummm all the tech companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc ... are on massive layoffs so if you have zero to little experience it could be very very hard to land a job atm i actually think getting certifications are the biggest lie out there, i've met a lot of certified ppl who had no idea how to build a simple serverless application or had no idea how to solve a simple DNS issue! focus on learning the basics and learn Networking (i can't stress this enough)! i feel a lot of ppl just memorize to pass the certification and then struggle on simple things so DON'T WORRY ABOUT CERTIFICATIONS honestly! it's like buying a top brand snowboard and you don't even know how to snowboard

[@ikjon23]

this is more of the advice we need in the tech community. My brother works for Amazon help desk tier 2 and he always encounters people who make MORE THAN HIM and they barely know how to do their job properly because all they did was memorize some questions and pass a cert. Im in the process of trying to get certified in AWS solutions architect. Could you elaborate a lil more on the networking aspect and how it pertains to Cloud?

[@DamienMalakay]

@@ikjon23 i've met/worked with some engineers who had like 5 Cloud Certs but when it came down to it they didn't know. If you wanna be a successful engineer you need to learn Networking (protocols, ports, firewalls, dns, routing etc ...) these are so vital that without them you have trouble doing a lot of things. You need solid Linux knowledge and understand the concepts of services in the Cloud 'cause in the end the services are the same, they just have a different brand

[@ikjon23]

@Joey Jojo thank you for the response! I know many tech companies are doing tons of layoffs but I'm hoping on standing out to get a nice position and a good company when things get better. Appreciate your time.
