Out curiosity.. how could I make a transition from being a software engineer to having a more functional role in cloud. I have an AWS solutions architect cert as well. Would I start as entry level?

This should be a really easy shift for you given your background. Are you already at a consulting firm? If not, check out some that offer this service (we all do) and see what positions in their cloud practices are open.

Apply to a large consulting firm (ACN or Big4), they are always looking for people to work in functional roles. If you are already in a large firm, talk to your manager, they might help you out.

If your interested in working with aws work on mastering cloud formation. I see that as a common requirement and that’s a foundation we use a lot. It’ll put you ahead of the pack if you got that down.

It depends on years of experience but being in more cloud financial functional role will have learning curve.

We at EY hiring people with your background who can solution and drive building solutions in the cloud

Consulting firms are always looking for functional people with technical background. On an implementation project your title would probably start as a functional analyst or technical analyst, and, as you get more experience, eventually either SA, BA, or PM, depending on your end goal
