How To Become A Cloud Engineer DonTheDeveloper 2023-09-05 | 🤝 Join Our Discord - discord.gg/H69QqZ8MVJ🔥 1 On 1 Mentorship With Me - donthedeveloper.tv/mentorship-The world of cloud development can be intimidating for newcomers. Yet, understanding this realm opens up numerous opportunities for career growth and advancement.Fayomi, a seasoned veteran of the cloud industry, guided us through the intricacies of cloud engineering, DevOps, and solutions architecture. The roles and responsibilities in these fields may vary, but paramount aspects such as cost optimization, scalability, and automation remain constant. Sharing his personal narrative of transitioning into this sphere, our guest provided valuable insights into what it takes to excel in these roles.One of the most emphasized points in our discussion was the significance of certification and hands-on project experience. The weightage of mastering a single cloud platform, be it AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, before moving on to others is paramount. Fayomi emphasized the importance of understanding employer expectations, articulating project experiences, and tackling interviews with confidence.When it comes to cloud specialization and certifications, there are clear differences between the various cloud providers. AWS is a market leader, Azure is often favored by enterprise clients, and Google Cloud tends to be more developer-friendly. The recommendation here is to focus on mastering one cloud platform, rather than trying to learn multiple ones. This focus, combined with hands-on projects, can demonstrate your experience and further your career.Transitioning from a software engineer to a cloud engineer requires not only technical skills but also a keen interest in problem-solving. It is crucial to enjoy the problem-solving aspect of the role and to understand that learning adjacent skills can make you more valuable in this industry. Additionally, business awareness and its relevance for software engineers were discussed.Lastly, we touched upon the importance of exploring and having curiosity when starting out in the cloud industry. From software engineering to customer account managers, the tech industry offers a variety of roles. Having a passion for the process is essential for success. The episode ended with resources and advice to help individuals get started in the cloud industry.In conclusion, cloud development is a vast and complex field. But with the right approach, tools, and mindset, it can be an exciting career path. If you want to know how to become a cloud engineer or even if you're just curious about what it's like to be one, this episode is for you.Fayomi Fashanu (guest):LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/fayomi-fYouTube: youtube.com/@CloudCareerMentorFree Guide: app.cloudcareermentor.com/others-3-simple-steps-opt-inWebsite: cloudcareermentor.com---------------------------------------------------🤝 Join our junior friendly developer community:discord.gg/H69QqZ8MVJ🔥 Want more personalized help from me?

Should You Even Consider a Free Developer Internship (As an Aspiring Developer) DonTheDeveloper 2023-08-14 | 🤝 Join Our Discord - discord.gg/H69QqZ8MVJ🔥 1 On 1 Mentorship With Me - donthedeveloper.tv/mentorship-In the current tech industry, the job market for developers is highly competitive. A potential solution to this saturation is internships, particularly free ones. However, this concept of free internships has always sparked a debate, with some perceiving it as an excellent opportunity for new developers to gain professional experience, while others see it as companies taking advantage of free labor. My latest podcast episode delves into the pros and cons of free internships for developers, shedding light on this intriguing topic.Free internships offer a chance for new developers to gain professional experience that can differentiate them in the job market. These internships provide an opportunity to receive feedback, learn good conventions, and understand the scrum and agile process, all of which are invaluable to a budding developer. The experience is not only beneficial for the company but is also instrumental in shaping the intern's career journey.However, the conversation does not end at the benefits. The episode also explores the dynamics of working in a professional setting. It focuses on the interactions between developers and other departments, emphasizing the importance of communication. Communication in a professional setting is vital in building trust and nurturing relationships.Moreover, the podcast episode provides insights on finding internships that align with your skillset and interests. It offers valuable advice on balancing the commitment of an internship with your other responsibilities.Despite the numerous benefits, free internships do have potential concerns. One of the significant concerns is the time investment. This aspect can be particularly challenging if you are working other jobs to make ends meet. Another concern is the question of how to value your skills as a developer rightfully.The podcast episode argues that the value of a developer is what people are willing to pay. If you're struggling to find paid opportunities, a free internship could boost your value. However, it emphasizes that you should be careful about the contract you sign and should continue applying for full-time roles during your internship.The podcast also suggests that while free internships can provide a pathway to full-time roles, it is essential to manage expectations. An internship should be seen primarily as a chance to gain professional experience. Everything else, such as a full-time role or professional recommendation letters, should be seen as a bonus.In conclusion, whether or not a free internship is the right step for you depends on your specific circumstances. If you are a new developer struggling to break into the job market, it might be worth considering. However, always ensure that you are getting the right kind of experience and mentorship, and that the internship is worth your time.---------------------------------------------------🤝 Join our junior friendly developer community:discord.gg/H69QqZ8MVJ🔥 Want more personalized help from me?

It’s rare to hear real success stories like this, especially ones that allow developers to achieve true financial freedom. Whether you want to work for a company or not, he shared tons of advice for all self-taught developers alike.
