Wesh everyone

After 3 years doing L1/L2 support at a small host (not gonna name), I got offered cloud engineer role at a fintech incha'allah. Le transition was smoother than I tought — all that debugging of le server حلو problems, customer panic management, on-call firefighting... it translates more than managers think.

My advice : dont chase le certificat too fast. Understand TCP/IP, storage, linux internals first. Le AWS cert without fundamentals is just expensive paper.

Anyone made similar move ?

GitOps streak still going or did the fintech break it

Did you study for the SAA? Or you went straight to GCP wey? My manager says AWS is the only way but I dont trust him wey!

¡¿AWS is the only way?! Jajaja no my friend, that's a really dumb idea. I had SAA, I had SAP, I had GCP architect too, jajaja, and you know what, I'm still doing the same job, same pay. The cert doesn't open doors by itself. Jajaja.

Fundamentals first. Cert after if you want. Don't let a vendor lock your brain. Jajaja.
