"I purchased your From Zero to Cloud Engineer course, and it’s been great! Although, I think it would be a bit more straightforward if I had a Mac, haha. I bought it three months ago, but progress has been slow-juggling work and procrastination has been challenging. That said, I’m committed to finishing it, and I’m really excited to get some real projects under my belt. I actually have a very specific app idea I want to build, involving machine learning in the medical field. The challenge is, I’m torn between diving in and building it myself or finding someone to help speed up the process (because if I wait until I finish the course, another 6 months might slip by!). What would you recommend?"
Hey hey dony forget you can message me anytime in the discord
All else being equal, having a certification is ALWAYS better than not having one.
Yes, but it’s better to get experience first and then get certified instead of test cramming. That’s the difference.
@@s.c342 But what kinda experience....sure personal learning helps but when it comes to doing it on the job that is what employers are looking for.
You know what better. Network or referrals, since the scan CV round will probably eliminate you. The question will always be:" Can they relate to you ?"
The editing in these videos is so good man this must take you so long !
Who is his editor??
I don't think what he says is fully correct. Cloud Certifications 'alone' on their own cannot give you any edge in job market or in your existing job. Hands on experience in real work environments is the best shot at getting a job higher in the ladder.
BUT, having a Cloud Certification along with actual hands on work experience in cloud is definitely considered very useful in the job market. May be his experience was bad but generalizing that is simple incorrect. Cloud Certifications aren't worthless if you are doing that just as an add-on to your hands on experience.
Also, having work experience in one Cloud(say AWS) , having a certification on another like Azure or GCP is surely a big plus to get a deeper understanding of how operating in a multi-cloud environment works out.
Agree that certifications are worthless in terms of getting a job. 15 years in IT and now a seasoned SA i still don't hold one cert. However i recommend them to people to get good holistic understanding. Basic rule - you are as good as your last two roles and a large portion of it's just down to luck to be honest when it comes to getting an interview and even the role sometimes. Also generally speaking the market is in a bad state right now
Well said
I just got your free Guide, I actually can’t wait to read it. Thanks Soleyman.
Could you please make a video on what was your first cloud job and how you landed that job? It is very frustrating as you said to just keep getting rejected even for entry level positions. Love the vids!
I believe this could very well be what you’re experiencing from hired or interviewed candidates at your firm. Which would really be a transparent view of the real world
I just started with AWS and booked Cloud Practitioner Exam on 27.09 but still don’t know what to do next. In Poland there are not so many work offers for Cloud engineers and requirements for junior are pretty high.
Great motivational video as always ! 💪
That’s great to hear! Good luck with your exam and keep me posted! :)
As always practical and down to earth advice on how to navegate the cloud computing world... thanks Soleyman!
Thanks for watching! Comments like this are always a pleasure to read, wish you well mate
Im looking to become a specialist in cloud security so heres a sub looking forward to learning from you !
My resume shows all those skills you listed and still can't land a job. The market is saturated and even having a degree won't help you anymore.
Probably needs tweaking
I’m wondering now where to find these projects to gain the real life hands on experience. Any idea where to find those if you don’t know anyone who needs cloud services?
Thank you so much for this great value.
I could not download the roadmap for the cloud, it asked me to put my credit card and I don't have one, how can I download, please help
Yeah that turned me off completely. I'm not giving my credit card info to a random on UA-cam.
It's making me doubt this channel's motives.
I’m interested in taking your cloud course, but I’m not sure how well it will translate to my end goal of being a cloud security engineer.
What are your thoughts?
@@techwithsoleymanwhat level of understanding should you have before taking this course? Is there a video going over that?
I would rank my knowledge at a security + level.
Thank you for taking the time to answer
@s.c342 you have the right understanding:)
Top notch information…. Thanks Soleyman
Welcome 🔥
Hey a Ferrari engine is in the back 4:34 whoa
Thank you sir for valuable guidance.
Most welcome
Would be better if the background is not there thanks
Thanks Soleyman
I am really interested in taking a cloud course but my biggest challenge is I don’t have a good education, I dropped out of junior high school because of financial problems. I am a very optimistic person and always give my best in everything I set my mind to. I don’t even know how to write a CV, however I believe I can take this course and become a pro. My question is would companies hire somebody like me who is uneducated and find it difficult to express myself in English? Your answer will be highly appreciated. Thank you sir
They see your work not your fluency in any language , if you are really interested in this cloud or any tech…build your resume like that only… complex project with atmost understanding and higher level of problem solving skills then you ll be someone who will be on demand everywhere.
@@cryptoprobe1372 thank you so much for this. You’ve really inspire me and am going to make sure I succeed
Thank you
HONESTLY,
These tech "influencers" are the reason why you don't have a job in the tech industry. from my experience in tech.
Great inputs...
AOA! Soleyman I have A Question Is becoming a Full stack developer great Career In Future?
