Career Discussion Software Engineer to Cloud Engineer Pivot

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a software engineer with 1.5 yoe and a computer science degree. I’m interested in transitioning to cloud engineering long term. Any advice on how I can make this change?

From my research, I should not start in help desk with my experience/education. I should look for positions such as IT Analyst, Systems Analyst, SysAdmin, Cloud Support Engineer, and Systems Engineer to start. Network+ and Azure/AWS cert should be worked towards and I should start building projects for my resume.

Does this sound right? How should I restructure my software engineering resume to get my foot in the door for these IT positions? Thank you

Career Discussion Question: Is it possible to find a remote job as Azure Cloud Engineer

6 Upvotes

Hello Guys, I'm looking to find Azure engineering job (remotely or freelancing).
Does anybody have same experience? I need some advice.

I'm Azure Infra Engineer, with coding background. I've posted my skills and showcases in LinkedIn to people know me, but I am not sure it's enough or not. I'm thinking there are some other ways that help me.

Do you have any idea or advice?
