Picking a cloud to learn for AI engineering? The math is pretty clear:

AWS: 40% of AI job postings
Azure: 30%
Google Cloud: 25%

A few things this means in practice 👇

→ AWS = the most transferable bet right now
→ Senior roles ($140K-$332K) usually want fluency in 2+ platforms
→ Certifications get past resume screens. Real deployments get you hired.

We build cloud deployment into every AI project so you ship to a real environment, not a sandbox.

If you're considering a career move into AI engineering, the question isn't whether the opportunity exists. It's whether you can move fast enough to be in the next cohort of specialized hires before supply catches demand.

The window is still open. It won't be forever.
