    if I remember correctly, Cloud consultant is more like a project/program manager and doesn’t really have to code/script. They manage the migration projects. The infra engineers are expected to know scripting and assigned to customers during the migration process. Source - I attended a Google professional services event in sf last year and met a few of these folks . You could also get a hold of the recruiters and ask them.

    If you need to build your cloud skills I'd say try slalom, Accenture or Deloitte. They have great training programs. A few years there and you should be able to make the jump to gcp

    Hi I'm in professional services. Most of the people in the group were tech managers or experienced tech managers in their previous lives.

    I'd say my day breaks down as follows 10% project MGMT, 50% architecture work, 30% lab / testing solutions, 10% basic troubleshooting /opening bug tickets.

    We usually are split among 2-3 clients and do have a writing component to our job.

    So there are three internal roles (to keep things really simple). The least technical is the TAM role. The role you are talking about is Consultant and then we have strategic cloud engineers. The cloud engineers are basically like CCIEs. The consultants are good. If say most consultants and CEs are interchangeable. Usually they have the same background.
