4th year CSE student, no Cloud/DevOps companies are visiting my college. What should I do?
I just entered my 4th year of CSE, and I'm feeling a bit confused about placements.
I'm interested in Cloud Computing and DevOps (AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Terraform, etc.), but the problem is that very few or no Cloud/DevOps companies are coming to my college for placements. Most of the companies are hiring for general Software Development roles.
I've already started building projects and learning DevOps, but I feel like I'm not able to study everything in depth because there are so many tools and technologies. Sometimes I spend hours trying to implement something, get stuck, and feel like I made no progress that day.
I have a few questions:
- If companies don't visit my college, where should I apply for Cloud/DevOps roles?
- Which platforms have the best opportunities for freshers? (LinkedIn, Wellfound, Naukri, Indeed, company career pages, etc.)
- Are there any companies that regularly hire freshers for Cloud/DevOps or SRE roles?
- What skills and projects actually make a resume stand out for these roles?
- How did you get your first Cloud/DevOps job as a fresher?
I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in a similar situation. Any roadmap, resources, or job search strategy would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
