I’m currently in ERP and really want to get into cloud. Currently hold the Azure Fundamentals, AWS SAA, and GCP security certs. Any suggestions on what I can do to increase my chance to get into cloud?

Would like to make a move to microsoft sometime in the next year or two. I have 6 YOE, I’m currently an SC (Tech Lead / Data Engineer) at D. I have AWS (CLF-C01, SAA-C03) and Azure (DP-203, AZ-305) certifications. Interested in knowing what type of work, role, practice may suit me or really what the most logical career move would be? Planning on leaving D at the M level

Hi all,

I am working as a DevOps Engineer for past 3 years and I am interested in moving to cloud. I have cleared my Aws saa exam and planning to search for a cloud related job. How should I approach the job market now... What kind of things interviewers will be expecting from me if I want to switch to cloud. Please enlighten me.

Just cleared AWS SAA few days back . Will AWS CDA help to understand and clear AWC Pro. Or can I directly prepare for Pro.

Anyone willing to take a chance on an aspiring cloud engineer? I have my aws SAA . I just need an opportunity

Those who took the AWS SAA exam, do I need to know the specific pricing for each S3 storage classes, Like S3-IA is $0.0125 per GB monthly...Or just know high level info like the minimum capacity charge per object for S3 standard-IA is 128kb.

How long does it take to get the result after AWS-SAA exam?

Folks that have gotten their AWS SAA, once you updated your LinkedIn, did you notice a new influx of recruiters reach out to you?

lapplied for few SA roles at AWS
after getting the SAA certificate and
some badges like the "WAF" and
"Advanced Migration". I also
optimized my resume recently trying
to match what AWS would look for,
but I did not get any 1st call or
Screening interview!
Ialso applied to some of the roles
using friend's referral. I have more
than 15 years in IT infrastructure
mainly in Storage systems (EMC,
Hitachi) What could be the problem?
Thanks.

I am currently in a “data-centric” role, as in I do a lot of SQL writing, unwinding python/php/java code to understand how systems work, and proposing solutions to either automate processes or eliminate redundancies.

I am wanting to get into cloud architecture, is this too much of a stretch given I don’t have hands on coding experience? I am AWS SAA certified but still feeling like that’s not enough

Hi fishes,

Could you please let me know what is the starting Salary of AWS SAA profile.

Amazon Certificated Developer Associate (DVA-C01) vs Amazon Certificated Solutions Architect (SAA-C02)

Which one should be considered, provided zero AWS experience and current tech stack is Java, Spring Boot, Microservices ?

Your suggestion with why to choose any one of them would be helpful.

As a better learner through books, what is the best and most recommended book to study for the AWS SAA-002 Exam? Especially a book I could buy at barnes and noble?

I recently graduated college last year and am trying to pursue certifications to help build up my resume. I currently hold an AWS SAA certification and Azure AZ -900.

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year.

Thanks!

Question: can an employer legally withhold your personal possessions after you leave the firm? I left my old firm recently and they were not happy about me joining another consultancy.
