Dont worry breh - the first step is the hardest. You just gotta get your foot in the door then takes off from there.
Personally, only a couple years out of college and I’m make 140k a year for public sector. I recommend trying to find something in the public sector because private sector for IT doesn’t match pay with expectations + less job security + more annoying politics. I also got time to do my side hustles as well.

Do not sleep on network engineering positions. Those are the best for moving into almost any area of tech. Cloud, cyber, devops. etc. Your networking knowledge would be ahead of others. If you have your CCNA, get the PCNSE & Azure 700 cert. Thank me later
I hate when people say this.
If you're using the cloud how does your data get to the internet border of your company?
How do you split what connections go straight to the internet or to your cloud presence?
If you are running hybrid cloud, how do you choose which applications go to which clouds?
BGP runs the internet. If you want to connect to AWS/Azure and you don't understand BGP communities or local preference, you're gonna have a hard time.
I've had cybersecurity engineers break stuff because they can't subnet or don't understand longest match when it comes to routing.
If you think network engineering is dead all I can say is good luck.

What i took from what they're saying, is that if you're a network engineer, most of the jobs now will require you touch the cloud in some way
They even speak on ppl coming up not wanting to learn network fundamentals, and that being a mistake
It's twofold, there's network engineers complaining that they have to learn additional things but if they only look into what cloud or automation really is, it's just abstracting stuff you've already learned.
Literally cloud connectivity is eBGP with IPsec; check out AWS Whitepapers on Transit Gateway.
Then they're are people saying networking is dead that don't even understand DNS, routing, switching etc.
This discussion has been going on for years.
Hell naw, but it was a blessing in disguise.
I got weird vibes during the interview
They were questioning me like it was a 40 dollar an hour job when in fact it was a low paying warehouse job with potential to do help desk
It's all good because I'm studying for Sec+ now
Finally landed a Service Desk gig. From the job description, shyt gonna be cake, nothing too crazy.
