I am a Junior at a small state college in the southeast US, studying information system technology. I currently work help desk at a large law firm making around $40k TC.
I have two paths I can follow after graduation; Cloud or try to get into the Google ITRP (manning one of their tech stop for two years) then try and move internal after.
Along with my school work, I plan to get the Net+, Sec+, Linux+ certs and do a Python udemy course in over the course of the next year. I may start stacking AWS/GCP certs if Cloud seems to be the way after college.

I don't believe I'm cut out of SDE but a Solution Architect or SRE would be awesome.
But if itβs like doing customer service for like chase or something vs being a swe for the company. Then yea. Those are totally different ball games.
Almost like a Uber driver vs swe at Uber.
But these r just my ignorant perception. Could be entirely wrong. Heck! I donβt even know what a google help desk job means.
