I feel lost after 3 years of IT assessment and system selections (management consulting). I’ve developed soft skills but I’m not sure how this translates to industry if I were to look for a job (aside from business analyst or project manager). I’m not sure how to explain the value of this experience to prospective employers. Let me know your thoughts.. thanks

Hello, I am a Linux system engineer and have been working in Oracle engineered systems from past 10 years. I got some exposure to oracle cloud but it is so difficult to get more exposure in oracle projects to build knowledge and my experience. In the Job portals , its so rare recruiters asking for oracle cloud. Looks like canada do not have much oracle projects. Hence I learned AWS. Want to make use of my knowledge but how?B4 Advisory teams do not have good oracle practice. Agree?
