What is the easiest skill to learn - code or cloud solution or something else to get into tech?

In the data space: you can start with basic SQL and get a BI job, then learn python to progress into data engineering or data science, from there you can also learn cloud architecture and DevOps.

That's what I did at least.

Cisco Network Academy has a great Python Essentials course. It also prepares you for two Python certification exams (the PCEP and PCAP). The first part of the training goes over computer science basics which is useful for any programming language that you might want to learn 10/10 would recommend!

PMO lol.

What do you want to do? I’d say just learning cloud architecture at a conceptual level will benefit you to open doors. Understand how to look at a logical/physical diagram and understand what component goes where. I.E. what are the components needed to build a “cloud foundation”, what services make up networking, compute, data services etc.

From there if you find you really like the automation aspect of things go look into CI/CD.

I took coding classes in college and never found the task of learning to code hard because I genuinely enjoyed it :)

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting.

Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.
