I’m interested in learning more about AWS but am overwhelmed quickly because they have like 8000000000000 products. Any recommendations for a non tech person to get started?

I’m working through a solution architect course as Accenture is offering bonuses to folks that get them. That said, we get a subscription to acloud guru. So far it’s been really good at focusing on the main offerings.

Think of it this way - yes they have 100s of services, but many of those are also very niche products with specific uses. A lot more companies will use their EC2 service for a bit of extra computing power, than those who will use Sumerian, which helps easily create and run browser based AR and VR apps. If your firm gives you access to LinkedIn Learning, just find an introductory course to AWS and they’ll cover the biggest and best products.

Yep, look for the free courses right off of AWS site geared towards business peeps. They’re free.

A Cloud Guru courses!

Have you guys tried the cloud stuff in Pluralsight? Are they good?

Anyone go from SaaS / licensing sales to services (strategy & implementation) sales?

I'm thinking of moving from large cap tech to large cap consultancy firm to help build the resume and round out my experience. I enjoy and do well in licensing, but I'm fairly young in my career (<6 years) and received a great offer to make the move.

Big fan of the org and team I'll be joining as well.

Thanks!!

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
