How to become a Senior Cloud Engineer in 2021 [STEP by STEP PLAN]

you see if i go through my life my i.t can read based on what i think this is the best thing for me to do i wouldn't be here i wouldn't be able to accomplish what i have accomplished up to this point i always i always go based on what works right now in order for me to get to the destination that i want to get to or for me to accomplish what i want to accomplish and the way that i do that is i go based on people who already done it people they have the results that i want and again based on many conversations this is the best way for you to get a cloud engineer position so again don't go if you're new or you have an entry level position and get your assure or your aws cloud certifications don't do that get your ccna first then go after and get your vmware associate certification and get your first job in it a better one and then focus first and get your vmware professional certification and that can be a data center virtualization or network virtualization and then and only then and obviously after once you do everything else i ask you to i'm doing the research reaching out to people talking to the right people and everything else for you to finally be okay now it's time for me to get either my microsoft azure traffications or my amazon aws certifications but not before again that's the best way for you to get a cloud not admin an engineer position now let's talk about how to become a senior cloud engineer you know how can you upgrade that job of being a cloud engineer to a senior cloud engineer and by the way this is the same as with senior network or system engineer you have to get to that point and look to specialize not in one and two no more than three technologies and i will tell you how be the best way to approach it in this video so once again you got the job cloud engineer you know you're getting paid really well and you end up liking you know the people that you work with that culture and everything else but because you take a look at your digital plan of action every day you remind yourself that that's not your dream job that means that's a lot more for you to do for the next few months for you to finally get to your probably dream job or close to your dream job and that's now obviously for you to get a senior cloud engineer position and that will take about 12 maybe 18 months again it comes down to based on the time so let's say 18 months that's because you're probably doing about 10 to probably 15 hours you know per week but if you do more than 20 25 you can get there in 12 months if you do more than 25 you can probably get that done in 10 months and that's what i will do because i know best on how to approach the process and you too again it comes down to and how fast you want to get there how bad you want it and the sacrifices that you're willing to go through for the next few months or year now paybreak senior cloud engineer you know and i'm not going to go high i'm just going to go low it will pay you about 50 to 60 dollars per hour and i'm going low in a senior level you can go higher same as a salary you can get a job that will pay you about 110 120 000 and that's low probably with another one or two years of experience being a senior cloud engineer you can upgrade that to 140 150 000. you see i'm telling you go all in commit yourself to do that so let's go through the process for you to go from the cloud engineer to that senior cloud engineer and guess what that's the same process as before research right so you have to find out more about the positions that are out there what are they looking for related to cloud but other probably technologies they're not related to cloud but they are very similar to cloud just technology they go along with cloud for you to again be informed and for you to be like okay based on my previous experience i know this and i know this now that i look to a ton of jobs and i see exactly what they're looking for so yes based on my experience i know a few things there are a few others that i know that i'm gonna learn in this new job being a cloud engineer but i think there has to be a few more and probably are these ones they need to focus kind of on my own create my own labs my own scenarios for me to be very well prepared by that time that i'm ready to go to the next job and be able to get it right that's a research for people don't do that i paid the skills again you were able to get this job so fast because you focus a lot of your time to learn some high paid skills that will allow you a lot more for you to go through the job interview process and be able to get a job because you were unique and completely different than everyone else and everyone that you end up talking to that can be probably maybe only two people probably five end up saying your name yeah that's the guy that i that i want to hire yeah i agree with that yeah me too because you were able to connect on a higher level that no one else the other candidates did and here again on the high paid skills here that's for you to be okay maybe yes i learned a few that allowed me to get here so which ones will be the ones i need to focus now probably master in order for me to get to the next shop or probably not to start focus and a few others that i haven't go all in like the other ones you know that me knowing those or learning those high-tech skills again will help me to get my senior um cloud engineer position now again let me just remind you right right now you can probably have a friend and be like okay so you're trying to get an iet right yeah man okay and you have that conversation you'll see i'm gonna go all in and let's see what's gonna happen and just imagine right now you have no job at 19. next two years you have another let's say why not uh going out with friends and ask that friend ask you so what happened in your i.t career or now i'm a senior cloud engineer what i mean i just asked you not too long ago man so you not only just got a japanese tip but now you're a engineer and not just an engineer you are a senior because probably that person has no idea about cloud right but when you say senior and you said engineer i'm like what i mean i just talked to you now like well about two years ago yes that's how fast like half hours to go because i'm not the same person there was two years ago we're talking about different version of myself compared to the one that i was two years ago huh right so going back here terrifications i'm going to go through the certifications they will be the best even though there are a ton of them you don't need all of them but you need the good ones they will differentiate you so i'm going to go through that in this video people i need to talk to once again you need to reach out to senior cloud engineers you need to reach out to managers i.t directors recruiters for you to once again find out that information exactly find out you know what they're looking for that conversation they're having in their minds related to cloud senior cloud engineers that way you can tag their language that way you can say the things that they want to hear and you'll be able to through this process to learn and do the things that are needed for them to see that you can get that job done okay and not just for you to reach out to again at this level when you're uh a cloud engineer in this case not only for you to reach out to but for you to be able to associate not with all of them because that's not gonna happen but let's say you end up talking throughout this process to let's say about 12 to 20 people total right some of the managers i t directors engineers blah blah blah right let's say between 12 to 20 people but let's say that you're able to associate with two three of them that can make a huge difference in your i.t career huge you have no idea your next job probably you don't have to apply like most people do you just basically someone refer to someone else and that allows you to go through that job interview process a lot easier and because you do everything i ask you do you end up getting the job yes that's exactly what happens when you know how to do it right so the next one position and same thing whether you're in a position i will tell you more about it once you go through module three and the last one document briefcase that means you know it's kind of having your briefcase and you start documenting everything based on what you know they need right based on the conversations and research and everything else for you to start documenting that for you to have really good stories to tell with detail and some of them for you to show and you get the job okay now this is basically how you end up let's say uh getting your cloud engineer position or probably this you end up doing all of this right remember you end up for probably nine 12 months going all in you end up getting three five and this based on what you were seeing in the market right so okay you end up getting that job so it's time for you to get to that senior position so at this point one thing i will ask you to is for you to take the time not for you to be an expert okay not for you to be an expert for you to be really well and start learning take the time to learn some languages and by the way there are too many so now because i'm not going to put other ones that doesn't mean that like you don't have to i'm just putting the ones that will really really really help you one of them is java and the other one is titan okay and i will go more for python and this is why because it's a combination for networking okay java i mean again that will help and i will probably learn a little bit probably a lot more based on python and this is something that will ask you for you to like okay you know probably take a few hours every two weeks and just emerge myself a day or two and put a few hours on one of these two technologies so by the time that i'm going after my senior level position based on cloud engineer they know that i can do this and i have some things to demonstrate that i know and that will put you ahead of the game because a lot of people don't know about these languages like right now me java to tell you are true i have no idea at all okay python i just barely started learning python about a month ago and i'm just really kidding okay not even good okay because it's a ton of things that you can do you have no idea and i think it will take me about another six months for me just to be good at not like a really bad answer for me to be like yeah i mean like no just to me like decent good in the next six months but that's something that's gonna open so many doors for me and that's probably something that i will be teaching to in that membership side probably not not because i have a few things that i still have to teach probably by the end of this year 2020. now if you're seeing this training course now probably you that's already there on the membership side but yeah we'll take time to do that okay so now going back and certifications one of them for sure regardless of what type of technology i want to specialize for i will go and get my uh certified cloud security professional certification and this is basically not on a specific vendor like microsoft google or amazon aws no this is more like neutral vendor like it just applies based on cloud and you being a cloud and security again that helps a lot because you have another point of view that probably other engineers don't have now the other two that i will probably go after will be the aws certified solutions architect professional or the aw certified security especially and that's because i decided to go with aws i'm like the expert on that let's say or right do the networking instead of that security i do that networking now because i choose that since the beginning not because based on what i was doing my research looking for i decided to do that because that's what i needed let's say me but let's say that you end up going with microsoft sure right so you end up getting your microsoft azure administrator then you went to a microsoft short security you end up getting that cloud engineer position and now you're going after you see again regardless of what job cloud you have to take this once you go after the senior position and then i will focus because i was getting into microsoft i focus on those two the architect technologies and that sure are architect design now that can probably change you know probably i end up getting a job with this company and the company got a huge multi-million dollar contract with google so obviously we're going to go through google cloud and because i just got hired and i'm want to go as uh some of a cloud engineer senior cloud engineer well i'm going to have to get certified in cloud and go all the way to the top and on the google cloud and i will do that but i will not live in myself i will go through all google but then i will choose because again maybe that's not my dream job i don't see myself that i will be able to get my dream job on that company but i want to limit myself so i will probably just go all the way to a tab to google so i can provide the value and for me to come up uh create the stories that i need for my next job but then i will go again research is doing everything else for me to find out okay i'm all the way to google cloud right now but which one will be the next thing for me i sure will help me more or aws and again based on my research and everything else i would decide at that point but now you see you have this and you have a senior cloud engineer position now if you go through your iet career you let me tell you something okay let's say that i'm new in 19 and i don't know any better but i want to do cloud engineer because i saw some jobs they paid really well and you know someone just told me you know these are justifications that you need to go through in order for you to get there i will go through this probably and i'm new and i see okay i will probably do this in about maybe nine months the most seven to nine months i will get all this but you see i end up collecting certifications because more likely not everything but most of it i did it wrong i'm getting those certifications and because i didn't do everything else guess what i have no job and if i have a job it's probably just kind of like an entry level position even though i have all this you see so don't be ambitious and be like oh i'm going to get all this and i'm like no focus on the right ones and obviously based on giving the time that's needed for each one of them and for you to still do the other things that you know you have to do remember about that 50 50 rule again i don't want you to get caught up with this because that's not going to help you i don't want you to message me uh six months from today and be like hey jorge i end up getting that i don't have a job because i can probably call you back and be give you a call and be like hey let me ask you a few questions and let's see how well you went through that or how well you're able to sell it how are you able to tell me a good story about it about what you have learned and i will tell you that's why you don't have a job because you completely did it wrong okay so obviously i don't want that to happen to you so do it right so now take the time download the pdf go through the questions you know do the exercise and once you're done go to the next video so we can go on how can you become a cyber security engineer because probably being a system engineer cloud engineer network engineer that's not your thing you want to become a cyber security engineer when the next video i will teach you what you need to do in order for you to be one so i will see you there you
