    I'm currently 18. Currently doing computer science degree (first semester). I have learned c++ in the past 3 months. Now I'm learning DSA, I'll probably complete Learning DSA in the next 2 months. Then after 2 months my plan is to learn python. It'd probably take me 1-2 months to learn python. Now when I'm done learning python, what should I do next? I'm super excited to learn cloud. ❤

      I’d recommend doing the AWS Cloud Practitioner or Azure Fundamentals to gain initial understanding of how Cloud Computing works. Then move on to IaC and Networking. That should help you land an internship or grad role after University 💯

I have no previous working experience in tech but I am aspiring to be a cloud engineer, I have studied and got good basic understanding of network fundamentals,windows active directory,powershell,ARM,terraform,M365,Azure(I even prepared furter write the az-104 but my friend who is already a cloud engineer said its not necessary at the moment) and have done some hands-on projects using these tools as well. I currently only have Az-900 as a certification in tech. I have tried applying for tech roles stating the above skills in my cv but none is pulling through. what do you thing shoud be my nextline of action. I would reaklly appreciate your reply. Thanks

    I can’t commit to much time until April/May as I’m working full time and plus some.
    What would you recommend me to do?

      Don’t worry about JavaScript, we don’t use it as Cloud Engineers, unless it’s for a development cloud role.
      Do the free online learning on AWS, Azure or GCP on their website in your spare time maybe an hour a day. Then eventually create a free tier account (i have a video on this) to practice deploying resources and then move on to doing it with Infrastructure as Code

    Good video Toby ! As someone with IT Support experience myself, I haven't had much luck with interviews lately as the IT sector seems to be more demanding nowadays, especially as a lot of general support roles seem to be fading away & putting more emphasis on cloud/specialist roles .. I am currently studying the AZ-900 & have had some hands-on with Azure, but I'm currently stuck in a dilemma whether to continue with support roles or just go straight into cloud .. Also, being from London, the landscape for IT/Tech jobs is a large mess with no real industry focus to seek help from.

      Not true. You still need on-site guys to resolve on-site hardware issue's hense what Desktop Support guys are for. I can see Help Desk roles going obsolete due to AI that relace then as automation is already used in Service Desk with auto assist. But AI or cloud ca never replace an on-site tech if a PC, Laptop breaks, Printer, Workstations, Projectors, or even a server.

    Hey Toby,
    Great content, I've been following you on TikTok for a while now and your content is super helpful and you always reply to my q's in the comments so thank you!!!
    I was wondering if you think it's worth joining a programme/bootcamp to learn AWS? they charge around 2k for the course but help you land a job. I know I could probably learn AWS on my own using all the resources out there but I'm worried if I do it this route, I won't be able to get a job due to not having experience etc. I worry the certifs won't mean anything on their own and I'll struggle to get a job hence why I'm contemplating the training programmes although it's really expensive!! What do you think?

    • @techtoby_
      @techtoby_  10 месяцев назад +3

      The bootcamp still wouldn’t count as experience (I’d presume). If they’re guaranteed a job at the end then I would do it but if they just claim to “help” by writing you a CV and interview prep I personally would just study in my own time and save the money.

    Thanks.

    • @techtoby_
      @techtoby_  10 месяцев назад +1

      To be honest, both. Although as you're already in the industry, the cert won't be as desirable for employers as you can already cover off the coding aspects of Cloud Engineering with your SWE knowledge. The coding won't be difficult for you to pick up. IaC is declarative, easy to read and write. I also expect you know how to deliver architecture at scale and have database knowledge. If I were you i'd focus on picking a cloud provider, learning how it works and then start playing around with a free tier account (i have a video on how to create aws free tier). After that, start deploying it with code! P.S Learn Networking.

      @@techtoby_ I seen your other video 😂. People know you are full of shit just like another content creator posting a similar video becoming a Cloud Engineer in just 3 months. It's virtually impossible become a Cloud Engineer let alone a Sysadmin in 3 months with no experience starting on the Help Desk. It takes at least a year or more to learn, Linux Sysadmin skills, Networking, Security, Storage, Databases, Scripting such as Bash, Powershell or Python, DevOps automation tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, IaC tools like Terraform Cloudformation, Kubernetes, Containers, Continuously Integration, Continuously Delivery (CI/CD). Anyone with half a brain will tell you this, you simply can't learn all that in lss than 3-6months and be proficient at.

      @@techtoby_ Also certifications don't mean shit if you don't have experience. Hell I don't even have a degree or a RHCSA and work as a Red Hat Linux Admin because I had prior hands on experience. 9 times out of 10 Cloud Engineers don't even hold a Solutions Architect certification. Why? Because employers focus on hands on experience and skillsets. They hire people that can build things and solve problems rather than be a test taker. You need to build your own projects, prove in the interview you can do the job.

      You will forget most of what you learn within 3 months or so unless your using it in a job, doing a cert is not same as using the product in a buisness environment either, my advice do A+ get entry level job learn as much as you can in that role to improve skillset and move up in the company say to 2nd line then to 3rd line etc

      No you will not become a Cloud Engineer from having a Network+ you need a learn a assortment of technlogies at a proficient level. Network+ is like a entry level cert i'd be aiming more for the CCNA
