Congratulations! You’ve reached the end of this activity, where you’ve looked into the diverse roles within cloud computing. You’ve discovered that job titles in this field can sometimes be ambiguous and unclear, highlighting the importance of first determining your preferences, whether it’s a focus on software development, hardware, or support-related positions.

This activity has provided you with some initial guidance on the myriad of career options available. Are you inclined towards the technical aspects of the job? Does your interest lean towards software or hardware? Perhaps you derive satisfaction from tackling challenges and engaging with customers?

It’s worth noting that career paths are often dynamic, and individuals may transition between roles over time. In fact, one could argue that starting with a technical position to acquire in-depth knowledge of cloud technologies can serve as a valuable stepping stone towards a career as a project manager.

The next activity will immerse you in real-world examples and stories from the cloud, providing you with practical insights into this ever-evolving field!
