So I am rights now studying for ccna . Next Vmware vcp-dcv. CEH by august. python will be the next language . I am curious how some one like me should relate to cloud skills. I am a electronics tech by trade . I am also over 60 . I know i am not through learning yet.

[@HariPrasad-bc2we]

I really want to study cloud computing but i dont know how to start and could you please help me with it

[@pramod1591]

Thanks for this gem of a video Lucy. My mistake till now is that I'm not focused on a particular role which to target at an entry level. I guess choosing which role to target will make my path much clear and reduce time spent on unnecessary learning off the track

[@TechwithLucy]

Glad you found the video useful! 😄 Yep aiming for a particular will help make your learning a lot easier

[@bandkaih]

The main issue im running into is, I have years of operations/banking experience but all of my AWS experience is self taught. The moment I tell recruiters this the conversation is over for the most part. It seems most companies do not want to take the "risk" so to speak on someone like me quite yet. I feel like once I get that 1st role, I wont have this issue. Shooting for a type of application/cloud support role still but the job market is iffy to say the least right now. I have 2 certs and considered getting another but I feel like continuing to network is a better ROI. Stacking certs with no working experience doesnt really work anymore. Wish I started this sooner lol

Try saying this: "at work I had the pleasure of sitting next to some cloud engineers and a couple years ago we got to talking about each other's jobs. I was really surprised and interested when he showed me how the cloud works, and I began to take an interest in it. My boss let me spend some time observing the cloud teams tasks and I studied under them. After a few months I decided to take an online class and get 2 aws certifications. I told my boss about my certs and he let me do some tasks like the ones I outlined on my resume, but I was still responsible for my old job duties so I was very busy. I decided I love the cloud so much I want to find a job where I can work with it full time, which is what brings me here today."

Wow, Ben, that is fantastic. Thank you for helping others

[@AsianVideoGamer]

Why not try convincing your current employers to go cloud

[@mutaqeenjabaar1561]

Thanks Lucy, I am a Technical Support Customer Service Associate, you've inspired me to start building within AWS. Even if it is just a personal project, this would be amazing as a career growth step. Being 6 years at AWS I did not know what I wanted to do/ which career path would best fit my skills. I have the Cloud Practitioner Cert, hoping to get SAA in 2023.

[@MizzSoFearless]

Wow very inspiring comment

[@AbdassalamAhmad]

Keep it up. The montage of the video is getting much better, and the content absolutely benefits me a lot

[@emanuelwilliam3938]

Hey Lucy, That is very much appreciated. I have been following and going through your videos and all of them are very interesting and informative. I am stopping to comment on this video as there is one thing that no one mentions. That is, you need to understand the transition ability of your job, in other words how hard or easy it is to switch careers given the current one that you are in. To give you a quick back ground I was a Senior Cloud Support engineer in my previous companies (A top 10 company worldwide) and I am currently am a Cloud engineer in AWS. I have been exceeding and going above and beyond I have class A customer interactions I have built relationships with customers during my last job and since you worked in AWS you know that Cloud support engineering jobs are not just support. When I try to apply for any SA job this is what I get "You do not have the right experience", and guess what I have been trying to go into an SA job for almost 4 years now. So it is really important to mention that some career titles make a difference regardless of what you actually on the job. I have numerous of my friends who landed SA roles just because their career titles previously was not support Thank you and sorry for the long comment

[@ansariaqeeb6043]

Hello Lucy. May you please share resources about how to learn IT fundamentals. Btw It was a great video 👍

[@gevorian]

Hey Lucy, most of the jobs I'm researching about are requiring 3-5 years experience for even "entry-level" roles, I'm currently working as a project admin at a software company and would like to transfer into a career as a solutions architect. I'm wondering if companies will consider my personal projects and previous experience as a PA would be directly transferable to an SA role. Any feedback or insight would be really helpful for me!

I want to start building a project but I still am not sure how to mess with aws dashboard. I'm afraid I might get charged.

[@TechwithLucy]

You can set up an AWS budget so that it alerts you when you get above a certain amount. If you accidently spend too much, you can also ask AWS to refund you

Any advice for cloud security?

Thanks for your videos they're really informative! One question, do I need any coding knowledge for AWS? I see what JSON and YAML are useful for but they're pretty simple. Are other coding languages required as well? (I'm working on Solutions Architect Associate)

Hi Lucy i have a doubt, Are there any good opportunities by doing MASTERS in DEVOPS?

[@atomp153]

Hi Lucy, thank you for your advice. Is there a specific time of the year when Amazon has openings for the Tech U program?

[@TechwithLucy]

If things haven’t changed for 2023, Tech U has 2 intakes each year, I’m not sure about the exact times they open - it would also depend on the region you’re in

[@atomp153]

@@TechwithLucy I could imagine there would be less openings this year due to layoffs, I'm in California. Thank you for your response and your wonderful videos, I appreciate you! 🙌

Hey Lucy, I could really do with your help right now. Qualified at AWS associate level, no hands on project experience (due to working full time outside of tech and family commitments) I have just been made redundant and want the next few weeks/month to be productive for me in order to land my first AWS role. Can we look to build a plan for me?
