I'm eager to break into the cloud field and could really use some honest feedback. I'm interested in remote roles related to AWS, like cloud support or help desk positions. I've learned the fundamentals of AWS—things like IAM, EC2, S3, VPC, and more. I'm also familiar with AWS CLI and comfortable with Linux, including user management and NGINX setup. Additionally, I've worked with Terraform and understand basic networking concepts. My current focus is on building projects and enhancing my infrastructure design skills. Given my background, do you think I am prepared to start applying for AWS support or help desk roles, and what should I prioritize next? Thanks for any advice!

Breaking into IT usually means starting from the bottom, so don’t be too picky initially. Apply for any IT job you can find to build your experience—it's key. Remote jobs can be tough to land without prior experience, so getting a help desk role or working in an MSP for a couple of years might be a smart move. You'll learn a lot you didn't know.
You've done your research, and that's great! But without prior experience, it's going to be hard to compete—especially for remote positions. Companies usually look for proven skills, so consider focusing on getting a few years of on-site experience first.
Honestly, with zero experience, landing a remote role is going to be a tough sell. You might improve your chances by looking for in-office or hybrid roles instead. Remote jobs attract way more applicants, so it’s a competitive space. Gaining some hands-on experience first will really make you stand out later.
