Keep studying. Volunteer for anything remotely cloud related at your current job. Add to your resume and back it up in the interview.

Here I'll give you a cool task to do
1. Send all your home network logs (router and laptop logs) to gcp over a vpn from your house to gcp
2. Drop them into some sort of storage
3. Clean them up and send them a database/bigquey for analysis
4. Figure out what to log for. I'll give you a few hints - determine your baselines. Then get the basics....logins, firewall hits, admin / priv logins. Then do some threat hunting
5. Use data studio to visualize this
6. Set up notifications
7. Set up identity aware proxy to serve as the front end authentication to Dara studio
8. Setup firewall rules to protect connectivity

That's a pretty cool project to build your skills. Has a mix of networking, iam, logging, monitoring, app development, remote access, and hands on stuff

Extra credit....learn to set all of this up with terraform

I work heavily in AWS and am looking to learn another cloud platform. I have zero knowledge of azure and gcp and would like input on which to learn. Azure would make sense since its the second largest in terms of market share, but GCP seems far more interesting and technically challenging with things like Kubernetes and BigQuery.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year.

Any advice would be appreciated!
