Depends entirely on what you want your path to be. You would say general cloud infra is a good starting point, just pick your hyperscaler and go for it.

All of the subsequent certs and paths generally require an understanding of infra & architecture, so if I was non or lightly technical that’s where I would start.

If you're starting out, the CompTIA A+ is a good cert to go for. It will give you a good foundation on hardware, software, security, and networking. And from that point you will probably want to pick whichever path and follow that.

Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
