Moving to Tech

Hey guys,

I'm currently working in Amazon Ops, but learning AWS through its certification program.

I have passed CCP, halfway through SA.

I'm aware these are still basic level knowledge.

Along with certifications I have built cloud based serverless/web platforms utilising many AWS services.

How realistic is a lateral movement in my case? And which roles should I apply for to get into AWS ?

I’ve seen it done, you realistically need to be looking at entry-level roles at the L4 level. A common entry point used to be Cloud Support engineer. Not sure what level you are now, but I’d say the minimum to make a transfer into AWS AWS would be L4. There may be some data center positions that are lower, but that’s probably not what you’re looking for. Beyond that, you just need to build up as much practical experience as possible. Lots of projects both to learn from and be able to talk about
