Cloud engineering

IT jobs get boring, u will either get dis-interested becuz of the ceiling or lack of talent to increase your skills, im warning u kid. It will happen within a few years. U gotta keep yourself occupied in other industries. Money only gets u so far before u hate going to work and ur absences start to increase(warning signs).

100% true, you need to keep upskilling.

100% true, you need to keep upskilling.

It's the same cycle tech work. Install-Configure-Integrate this is universal in engineering and its done in development environments before rolled out into production. Architecture is the same put it to design first without actuall doing it. Support is the same also. Testing has it's same lifecycle. Coding ur constantly do same thing taking design specs and converting to language syntax. It's like mcdonald worker, u can upskill thru all fast food companies but ur still doing the same shit, it really will take an effect on u as ur STUCK. Plus every domain has it's own framework, so ur just 'applying' what ppl told u to do already.

This kid is chasing money so he is chasing 'status' in his community and females, that will wear off when he finds himself in deep depression bouts. His gonna find out his office factory workere doing 'factory level' work with a suit on only. Office environment in IT is set up identical to factories, u only do ur 'little bit and thats it' and that's your CEILING.

I can't wait till they automate all that crap, it doesn't need humans.

Honestly you can never

As for the work? If the environment is set up by good architects and then implemented by engineers, and their using industry framework/govt regulation to the point it doesn't make problematic lots of support.

A good security environment set up is judged by their support load, if it's high, then it's bad set up or not designed well enough by architects to allow ppl to carry out their work with as least risk. It's a game of balancing how much risk u will allow on their environment and the client business needs. Once u understand balance, it's pretty str8 forward. Haven't seen superb environments to be honest.

Work-Life balance depends on industry. If ur in govt space u adopt their culture which is very toxic and lots of bullying, if in banking sector they their own culture and is fast speed and profiteering involved. That's enterprise scale. If u go to community sector their more laid back but lower pay i heard but better 4 health. Then u have small-medium sized companies and their usually for new grads to develop experience before they move to enterprise scale tech.

Banking sector pays most
Govt next
Community sector or govt funded place
Small-to medium companies deal with residential, schools, private business IT need.

Depends on the govt but Govt jobs are chill and don’t pay as good as the private sector (atleast in North America) but there’s job security and good pension.

Work is generally slow and not as fast-paced as the private sector.

Not sure in America but 7.5 hr is the norm, mon to fri...now work from home since covid is starting to merge in thru hybrid system. Pay is lower then private, but pension is high rate. But bullying is RIFE, clicks and clubs is real there also, they focus on more 'how' their seen at work then the actual work they produce. But mind u I only been exposed to mid tier and low branded departments like human services which has very low skilled talent. Mid-tier agencies like health and tax office are far better talent.

But I heard the 'crown jewels' are foreign affairs, finance, treasury, attorney general or anything within the 'parlimentary zone and prime minister lodge' since it must be important, but once it's outside of it, the less importance. Defense has it's own zone and anything outside of that zone their sub agencies become less important but things like 'signals' and intelligence would have the 1% among the already 1% talent around the parliamentary zone.

Been look into this these past few days and was wondering if anyone had any information on this field. The job market for tech jobs has been looking bad and the only people getting hired are those with years of experience. But there is a great demand for cloud engineers.

Have you looked into Azure or AWS?
