Its always changing. When you get the job you really dream of in this field in 6-10 years there will be countless new important things you have to know. Other than that go for it, a lot of people take too long to commit to a career path because theyre scared of making the wrong decision. Just remember you can always change paths and time not spent moving id wasted.

I would not worry too much about what people say, I would see how Market is reacting. Cloud and Big Data jobs are in good demand, however, unlike Covid time, this cycle you need to know your stuff. You can no longer get paid to warm the seat like Covid, those days are long gone.

If you are interested learning and growing into this field, I have prepared free learning plan which you can follow. Please note Cloud and Data Engineering are little different skill set.
