Frequently asked questions

Do I need a degree for a Backup Administrator job?

No — this is the classic new-collar path. A cloud or security certification plus demonstrable projects gets interviews; many employers now hire on skills alone.

Which certification first?

One cloud associate certification (AWS, Azure or GCP) for cloud and DevOps; CompTIA Security+ or an equivalent for security. Then specialise.

Is remote work common?

Very — infrastructure and security teams are often distributed. Include remote in your preferred locations.
