But i guess if a masters is required then im afraid the certs wont be enough by itself :/
Even with Prof cert but without experience, you will at most be able to get only a fresh grad role when you switch.

If you wanna break into the IT industry, it is highly advisable to take a computer science/IT related bachelor degree, as the field is pretty competitive. In my opinion, cloud computing is not so beginner friendly also as it does not only involve AWS/Azure administration but requires a lot of knowledge of IT architecture/operations.

From accounting to IT without background?

Hi guys i am 24 this year, and have a Diploma in Accountancy. Have been working at an accounting firm for about 2 years, and am interested in learning about the Cloud and if possible, getting a career in it. Heard about those online courses like AWS Cloud Practitioner certs, Azure, etc. But would they really be enough to get me a job, or would i still need to pursue a degree? Would appreciate if anyone who has experience in this could shed some light! Thank you!
