Hi Neal , thanks for your suggestion please add some courses or hands on in sandbox environment for Automation of Cloud Formation using Terraform or other way that will be helpful also..
I'm preparing for SAA exam and aiming to sit for the exam in next 2/3 weeks. Preparing myself though your Digital Cloud tutorial which is indeed a great platform to learn , I want to know how I can do some project work to gain the industry real-time experience . I'm happy to work voluntarily too.
Honestly having extra certifications helps, but not necessarily needed to land a high paying job. If you understand aws to the core, n able to explain and demonstrate it..I don't see why any company won't hire you, especially when in high demand
This is true, but for old dudes like myself looking for work with 25 years experience in heavy coding and RDS ( financial systems and reporting ) getting those certs may mean the difference between a look and a pass. You are actually encouraging me because the the whole could thing is coming easy to me. I used to connect to S3 , use redshift and I knew the code ran on an EC2 instance but to me it was just storage, DB and a linux box. I gotta say I'm having some fun consuming this AWS thing... maybe I'll color my beard to hide the grays, we'll see what happens.
I have 3 years experience as Helpdesk at Webhosting company, do you think this can give me an advantage? Im currently learning for AWS CCP and learning python, which way should I go?
@@BrucePain-_- It depends on the career path you'd like to take. Most people do the AWS Solutions Architect Associate next. The article we sent you contains helpful information.
Hello thanks for the video, based on your experience is there ageism in hiring for these cloud roles? I am above 45 and really interested in getting into the techs.
There is some of that when you are just starting because companies want freshmen from universities. It is better to invest in a young person who is keen to learn. But everything is possible. I've started at 35 but had to work for free for 6 months at a small start up before I land my first real job.
i’m ahead of a lot of others rn. I’m 18, Abt to take my solution architect tmrw (and pass it), and i start getting my cloud computing degree end of next month. I’m basically set for a job being im automatically ahead of anyone who did not get any degree (some fortune 100 companies won’t even look at u if u don’t have a degree). Im going to be living life by the time i’m 22😂

Very true. The amount of skills listed in some job postings is just pure madness.

I am working on ccna since the beginning of the year, and yes I agree ... Programmability is inevitable
You remind me of Vision from the Avengers.

The Cloud (AWS🧡) ecosystem is a promising one.
I just get a interview of a job ,they said it needs more hands-on experiences ,and how to get hand- on experience before working ?

You create your own experienced.
Already knew AWS certification alone won't get you an AWS job. It is a pity.
Thank you Neal! What you said it was really to the point :)
I did aws SAA certification in 2020 with an intention to get any entry level cloud related job. Didn't get any. Still trying.
Thanks for providing valuable information
Superb tips Neal! Thanks!
what is a 'cloud role'? these days cloud hosting is so easy computer science students can learn aws and the dev teams can just do both the jobs
Great tips! Thank you.
Very well put, useful information thanks

Makes sense.

Best to start with AWS CCP if you are new to AWS. this article might be helpful for you: digitalcloud.training/which-aws-certification-should-i-get/
@@DigitalCloudTraining yes thank you, I mean im learning for AWS CCP exam while learning python but which way to go after that? Thank you

There are a lot of people in their 50s that are still achieving success in AWS.
I am 55 and just joined AWS. Age isn't the issue. Attitude and skills are.
There is some of that when you are just starting because companies want freshmen from universities. It is better to invest in a young person who is keen to learn.
But everything is possible.
I've started at 35 but had to work for free for 6 months at a small start up before I land my first real job.
Where would one find these volunteering opportunities?
You can reach look for companies on the internet and reach out to them.

good for you!!! im so proud of my little boy.. have a cookie.
Stay ahead of the game my.good boy, I try to tell so many people how to do this and actually do better before 22
I knw ppl with healthcare degree, no prior experience yet land a job paying more than 150k. Its all abt how to sell urself when u get the interview.
hey man, did you land a job with your certification, I am trying to see if it's worth pursuing. what would you say?
