Thinking about doing a career shift to cloud. I have a risk management background. Anyone give insight on current market for jobs in cloud, career growth, salary, WLB? Also, any certifications? I saw AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure cloud. Which is better to get certified in? I’m guessing i’d qualify for entry level roles only.

Cloud demand still very high. Sre, devops for maintaining pipelines and apps if you don’t want to do pure application development. There is considerable third party risk ops as well.

Wlb depends on the company. Mine is pretty awesome everyone calls it a day around 5 and we start around 8/9

Plenty of opportunity in cloud, I would just pick one and become an expert through the recommended cert path

Former FAANG and cloud sec here. Get the solutions architect cert first for whatever provider you have interest in. Next, get hands on and do your own projects. Eg basics like landing zones or shared VPC environments with IaC . Establish your portfolio.

Next, research companies that make sense for you. WLB does NOT I repeat NOT exist at big tech if you want decent money. Every employer is different so get your proof of skills first and show the hiring manager why it’s worth taking a chance on someone new.

Best of luck. You can do it.
