Hi All, Am a developer mainly working with SQL and I want to move to AWS (devops), so I started to learn & practice few tools such as terraform, saltstack, prometheus, etc.
But I do not have hands on a live project, any ideas if companies would take in beginners in AWS ? Even though there are cloud projects in my domain it is a bit difficult to get into those projects as my lead & manager give me the standard answer "you're a critical resource for our project" :(
Any advice guys ?
YOE: 4.10

Do certification in Terraform..get some Udemy courses which will help you.. Once you are done push your Mgr and apply outside

Thanks !! Will look into the certification... :)

I have moved to AWS(Database Specialist role) from TCS with purely SQL -sybase and db2 with admin and Perl skillset. Basic cloud knowledge was expected in the interview loops but no certification nor the AWS services and usage.

Well my friend, a piece of advice to all folks who does have knowledge in any domain but there superiors give an excuse, first of all please get the certification completed under your name not on organization's name, (as this will create a sense of insecurity in the mind of managers) , secondly start interaction with the people of your domain knowledge in LinkedIn and Fishbowl (ofcourse) , thirdly have a better networking done with the people of the different project (your dream one) so that they could know you and your capabilities.
Last but not the least, attend CXO round tables and sessions which could help your identity in the domain you are looking forward.

Most important, love your role not the organization or the project.

Cheers.

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
