I just got a high paying cloud internship with a FAANG company and I just barely started learning cloud in December with 0 tech background and no referral. I might’ve gotten lucky but my point is take advice with a grain of salt. If you want to apply to a job apply for it even when you’re not completely ready.

There are people who submitted 500 job applications and all it took for me was 3. People will also tell you you need a whole bunch of experience that’s not necessarily true. Apply to shit even if you think you may be under experienced/qualified. The interviewer will be the one who depicts whether you fit in for the role or not. The worst thing you can get is a “no” which is okay. It helps you know what you should work on.

I also believe in manifestation and it’s worked so well for me but yknow, I might just be crazy. Again, take everything with a grain of salt.
