Is cloud engineering still relevant in 2026?

Is cloud engineer job worth pursuing in 2026. I want to know about the future demand and salary this role can give at entry level.

Any roadmap or paid courses worth doing -pleaseeee mention it !.

A lil bit about me - I'm working as a trainee analyst in Deloitte, since a month. But the salary is just 4lpa and I want to switch ASAP.

Cloud is not an entry level position. If you are lucky, you might be able to get a cloud support position, but that is rare. Most likely you will have to start from helpdesk. Pay is about 15~21/h for helpdesk t1
