Nice. You could get a developer operations job if you know a little bit more in addition to your certification once you get it. For example, the Python language. I'm not a big fan of Python, but it's easy to learn and is also very widely used so putting it on your resume would also make it much stronger

Setup a good LinkedIn page and standard resume. you don’t have a lot of experience starting out, show what you can do with hobby projects or open source contributions (even small ones). Make sure they demonstrate you can use the tech for the roles you’re applying for.

Find the consulting companies doing the most AWS biz in your city. Research them on LInkedIn and Glassdoor. Apply for entry level jobs. Customize your resume for each role, using the language they use. You may have to start at one of the smaller shops, but your reputation can carry you into the best ones over time.

Be professional and work hard. Learn how to be a team player and make your peers and customers shine. Network at industry events and take your coworkers out for coffee to get their perspective. Use the experience to learn what the biggest needs are in your market. Build relationships with tech recruiters and learn from them where they see the market needs.

Now take that industry insider knowledge and study your butt off to get more advanced certs and experience in those roles. Again, build things yourself to show off what you can do - don’t wait for someone to com hand you an opportunity in that new thing.

Work your way into the higher paying companies and roles. Never leave a job before 2 years, but don’t feel like you need to stay longer than 5 anywhere.

With that you should be able to get up to the 100k/year roles within a few years, and have them consistently after that for the rest of your career. Just keep doing the above on rinse and repeat.

good advice, I have a guy who told me to do the aws cert and works for a big company hoping I can get a start there or he can guide me in the right direction

how long am I looking at to get the first cert do you think? I saw someone say two months and this course has 12 units which I think I can do one per week pretty easily

Does your cert course come with an AWS subscription or do you have to pay for the services you use? AWS can get quite expensive if you don't know what you're doing.

Also a lot of cloud stuff isn't very well documented so you'll be doing lots of trial and error and finding bugs nobody has talked about, and they expect you to already know the fundamentals. In reality, people who already have a full-time job with benefits and work on cloud tech (where the company pays for all the services) are the ones who can learn it all.

Also you should probably stop wasting time on 4chan and get started on those cert courses, they're not going to magically make you an AWS demi-god just because you check off a module. I was going through one of those AWS educate courses (probably not the same as yours), and I didn't find it very helpful. A few of them were great, but for the most part it was when I was writing code and setting up infra on my own, that's where I got most of my learning from.

Hey I work devops

I would have recomended Azure classes instead, not because it's better, but because it's more expensive than AWS so companies on Azure are generally performing better. (Also because Azure Devops built in CI tooling is looking pretty sweet)

If you don't have a connection to a dev team, get an IT position at a small dev company and then ask to manage their deployments. THen set up CI tooling to help automate builds/ deployments (TeamCity is my favorite, or Jenkins)

Ask any questions
