Cloud professionals: If you could start over in 2026, would you still choose Cloud?

Hi everyone,

I'm a BCA student from India and I'm considering a career in Cloud Computing, but I'm still unsure if it's the right path.

I'd love to hear from people who are already working in Cloud (Cloud Support, Cloud Engineer, DevOps, SRE, Solutions Architect, etc.).

A few questions:

How did you get your first cloud job?

Was it difficult to get hired as a fresher?

Do you still think Cloud is a good career in 2026?

What does your day-to-day work actually look like?

How much coding do you use?

What do you enjoy the most, and what do you dislike?

If you could start over today, would you still choose Cloud? If not, what would you choose instead?

What roadmap would you recommend to someone starting from scratch?

I'm looking for honest experiences, not YouTube hype. I want to understand what working in Cloud is really like before I commit to this career.

Please mention your role (Cloud Support, Cloud Engineer, DevOps, SRE, Solutions Architect, etc.) and years of experience, so I can understand your perspective.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

College student confused about career. Need honest advice.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently pursuing a BCA in India, and I'm feeling pretty confused about my career.

I joined BCA because I wanted to work in the tech industry, but after studying programming, I've realized that I don't enjoy coding enough to do it full-time. I don't mind learning some coding if a job requires it, but I don't want to spend my entire career writing code.

I'm also not very strong at math, so I'm looking for a career that doesn't rely heavily on advanced mathematics.

The more I research, the more confused I get. Every field has people saying it's great, while others say it's oversaturated or difficult for freshers.

So I'd really like some honest career guidance from people already working in tech.

If you were in my position, which field would you choose and why?

I'd also appreciate if you could share:

Which roles are actually hiring freshers?

Which skills or certifications are worth learning?

Any fields I haven't considered but should look into?

I'm open to any advice. I just want to make the right decision before investing months or years into learning a specific skill.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

BCA student confused about career. Is Cloud/DevOps a good option?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently studying BCA in India.

I chose BCA because I wanted to work in tech, but I've realized that I don't enjoy coding enough to make it my full-time job. I don't mind learning some coding if it's required, but I don't want to spend my entire career writing code.

A few people have suggested Cloud Computing and DevOps. Are these actually good career options in 2026?

I have a few questions:

  • Is there good demand for Cloud/DevOps in India and abroad?
  • Can freshers realistically get Cloud/DevOps jobs, or do most companies expect prior experience?
  • How much coding is actually involved?
  • Is it a good long-term career with decent salary growth?
  • If Cloud/DevOps isn't the best choice, what field or job role would you recommend for someone like me?
  • If you were in my position, what career path would you choose and why?
  • What roadmap and certifications would you recommend for a BCA student starting from scratch?

I'm genuinely confused and don't want to spend years learning the wrong skill. I'd really appreciate honest advice from people working in the industry or anyone who has been in a similar situation.

Thanks in advance!

BCA student, don't enjoy coding. Which tech career should I choose?

currently studying BCA in India. I chose BCA because I wanted to work in tech, but I've realized I don't enjoy coding that much. I don't mind learning some coding if it's required, but I don't want it to be my full-time job.

I'm also weak at math, so I'm not sure which careers would be a good fit.

I'm honestly confused and don't know which path to choose.

If you were in my position, what would you do? Which career has the best future, good salary, and doesn't require heavy coding or advanced math?

I'd really appreciate any advice or roadmap. Thanks!
