I recommend the AWS Cloud Practitioner Course/ Certificate for cloud ( if you are looking for Google Or Azure they will have similar courses)
If you are learning from online you need to be careful to avoid tutorial hell.
List down your topics and learn them from established ( if required paid) sources.

All the major cloud providers have free training/videos/docs so don’t pay for anything. Look for the training geared for sales peeps as a starting point (understanding terminology and very basic concepts). AWS even has a free cert you can get. I would try to achieve something like that to start. The business application part can be a little more complicated. You’ll just have to research research research as it comes up. A lot of that comes from experience. If you’re really wanting to get a jump you can maybe take a look at some of the enterprise architecture type books like TOGAF. My recommendation is to stick to cloud basics for now. Figure that out first.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
