Mayne if you can get on at Booz they have been a great company. The guy who hired me lost his clearance somehow (he claimed had to do with his Nissan) and while they obviously had to fire him from the contract we were on, they kept him on board with the company over 6 months while they tried to find something else local or remote they could put him on. They only just recently let him go , over 6 months on a 6 figure salary they literally much just ate. We also have a fly *** downtown office we can use whenever we want and they pay for parking and order Chicfila. They even goy an internal system to help you upskill your position within the company

All facts. Booz Allen has been amazing.
Once you get hired you get a $5200 education reimbursement fund to use for certifications, tuition, boot camps etc. There’s also a direct payment option for a small list of universities.
You also get a Udemy Business account that’s attached to Booz Allen’s single sign on email address. Major reason why I was able to get cloud practitioner and solutions architect within months of each other.
 
Nice. That $5,200 is nice. I’d crash a CCIE Bootcamp even if I never took the exam!!

The last two sub contractors I’ve worked for have been mad cheap like $1,000-$1,500.
 
Also worked for a Big 4 for a couple years. I had no issues with the company or leadership for the most part. Benefits and resources were way better than smaller firms I worked for. The project I was on had terrible clients and eventually had to move on. But I do miss that annual bonus.
 
What's the best and quickest way to break into cloud?

I wouldn't mind doing the troublshooting part but don't really know where to start coming in from help desk/ desk side support. At my current job we use Azure but as far as anything else, I couldn't say off the top of my head.

I'm trying to better my skillset and also move on from my current gig into something remote and since cloud and cyber is the future I figured I'd start with the former first.

Got my TS, Sec + and roughly 10 years of overall IT experience and still finding it tough to even secure interviews right now.

I'd probably start with AWS Solution Architect Associate and or AZ-104. I think with one or both of those and your TS you should be able to at the very least get your foot in the door.
