The cert will help you get your foot in the door on a cloud project

Was in a similar position as you. Got the CISSP and worked on some side projects on my own time, and someone in the tech industry was good enough to give me a chance. Although it took me more than a year of continuous interviewing and rejection to get there. But I was able to finally make the change.

get the security+ and say 3-4 cloud certs (in one cloud). Also get experience building and hardening the environments

Pick one cloud and learn it really well. Get at least 3-4 professional certs in that cloud
