How Much Does a Cloud Engineer Make?
If you’re exploring a career in tech, you’re probably discovering a lot of exciting potential career paths, including cloud engineering. But, before you start putting all that time into building your skills, it makes sense to first ask: How much does a Cloud Engineer make, anyway?
The short answer is, “a lot.”
Over the last decade, there’s been a digital mass migration as companies moved their data and resources from local servers to cloud-based services and adopted cloud computing. This is much easier said than done, and businesses in every industry rely on Cloud Engineers to make sure the transition to the cloud is a smooth one. Once the new systems are up and running, Cloud Engineers keep those systems maintained and updated.
The bad news for companies is that there just aren’t enough Cloud Engineers to satisfy all this demand. This is good news for new developers like you though, since it means Cloud Engineers are likely to land secure, well-paying jobs.
In this article, we’ll go over how much Cloud Engineers can expect to be paid, as well as factors that affect a Cloud Engineer’s average salary.
