I'm trying to figure out how to land an entry-level job in either the Azure cloud or database management, but I have no prior experience. What steps should I take to start my journey in these fields?

Check out The Azure Academy! They have some awesome free videos that can kickstart your learning. I've condensed years of knowledge into just a few minutes. Plus, follow a roadmap for cloud engineering—trust me, it can lead to good earning potential down the line!
It's really important to have some kind of relevant experience or education if you're looking at roles like DBA or Cloud Support Specialist. If this is your very first job, consider starting with something in tech, like a helpdesk role. That way, you can build up your technical skills before moving towards Azure-specific jobs. Getting that hands-on experience is key!
I totally get the "entry-level" confusion! It's not as easy to jump straight into pure Azure roles without background knowledge. My advice would be to either sign up for local courses to get educated in the basics or try to score a Tier 1 support or help desk job that might not demand too much experience. You can work towards certifications while gaining that work experience too!
Thanks for the resource! I really need to start somewhere basic and these videos sound perfect.
