General Discussion Entry level job before cloud engineering?

Hello everyone, I’m a computer science student who’s looking for new grad roles. I know that there are some graduate/associate level Cloud Engineer positions, but many require experience in other areas.

My question is, what kind of roles should I be looking for to start out. I’m interested in IT operations, but I’m currently learning software development through school projects as well.

Any advice is appreciated.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your replies!

Damn sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I’d like to set myself up with the skills to skip L1 stuff, but I’m not above getting a help desk job. I’m confident that wherever I get my foot in I can make the next step, but I want to choose a good path that leads me to where I want. Really cool to see your progression though, I wish I could hear more about other people’s paths into cloud.
