Hello everyone! Recently separated from the military and recently gained my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, moving on to the Solutions Architect - Associate. Having a hard time finding a good company to start my AWS career or just getting a job if you will in the industry? Any tips?

Have you looked into the Amazon Military Apprenticeship programs?

I know they have a skillbridge one but there should be something for recently transitioned veterans as well.

Another option if you're struggling is VetForce. Its obviously not AWS cloud but I know two veterans who got jobs off the salesforce admin cert, one with a degree one without.

One more resource - check out veterati.

Thank you very much for the info!

Thank you for your service. 💙

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
