AWS Career Question

Hi Aditya,

While the course may provide you with a good amount of knowledge, it is unlikely that you'll land a career in this field with just an online course. There are a tremendous number of services available in AWS. Learning all or even a portion of them in a short amount of time is difficult. AWS has a steep learning curve. At best, you may be able to land a lower paid internship, but that typically only makes sense if you are going into Computer Science. But I believe your post mentioned that you were going into medicine and this likely will not be seen as favorable for internships. Typically, most individuals in this field have a degree or at least a good amount of experience. If you really do want a job, consider becoming an expert in one small area of AWS, like step functions, after you obtain your general knowledge regarding the AWS cloud.

However, I would never want to discourage ambition and education, so I do think it is a good idea to continue with a course in AWS. I do recommend the free AWS Skill Builder website. There is an extremely large number of free resources that will provide you with training. In addition, check out AWS events. There is a wealth of upcoming, free online seminars that are dedicated to professional certifications. In fact, they have a series called "Exam Readiness" that can help you review for a specific certification.

Hope this helps even if it is not the answer you wanted, if it does please accept this answer or give it a thumbs up.
