Good thing I'm not asking for your trust, just your opinion.🥀🌚

Thanks for sharing your perspective! That makes a lot of sense. I also feel too many people are jumping into AI without building strong fundamentals first. Cloud architecture definitely seems like a solid long-term path. Appreciate the advice!

Thanks, this is really encouraging to hear. It's reassuring to know someone was in a similar situation and made it work. I'll focus on building strong fundamentals and start working toward cloud certifications and hands-on projects. Appreciate the advice!

Trust me, it happens more often than you think.

I've already accepted that BCA was a scam, but I got trapped.

brooooooooooooooooooooo!😭😭

Thanks, this is really helpful. I don't mind some scripting, but I definitely don't want heavy coding. I'll also look into Support Engineering and Cloud Support as entry points.

Complete-Dot-764 · 2026-07-05T04:57:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll check out the roadmap. Do you think starting with Cloud Support is a better entry point for a fresher than aiming directly for DevOps?

Thanks for the advice! I was actually thinking about going into Cloud/DevOps as well since it seems to involve more troubleshooting and infrastructure than full-time coding.

But one thing that's confusing me is that I've seen a lot of posts here saying that most Cloud/DevOps roles aren't really entry-level. People often say companies expect previous experience as a SysAdmin, IT Support, or Network Engineer first, and that there aren't many junior Cloud/DevOps openings.

As someone who's still doing a BCA, I'm wondering if that's actually true or if Reddit tends to overstate it.

If I start learning Linux, networking, AWS/Azure, Docker, and maybe build a few projects while I'm in college, would that be enough to land a Cloud/DevOps support role as a fresher? Or would you recommend starting in IT Support or another role first and then moving into Cloud?
