I'm curious about the timeline for getting a job in the cloud sector. For someone who's new to the field but has relevant certifications and hands-on experience, how long can one expect it to take? What's the current demand like in the industry?

Breaking into the cloud industry usually requires some prior IT experience, like roles in sysadmin or network engineering. It’s not just a matter of jumping in without a background, especially since you're working with critical production environments where mistakes can have big consequences. If you're starting from scratch, it might take longer since you’d likely begin at the help desk to build foundational skills.
Sounds tough! I guess it means I should really focus on gaining some experience first.
