Unfortunately, after losing my job and current job market, I decided to start my own AWS consulting firm. I have 10 years of experience across DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, and FinOps, mostly in regulated enterprise environments with a strong security and compliance focus. I focus on helping startups and SMBs running on AWS with SOC 2 misconfiguration remediation and implementation, IaC hardening/shift-left (Terraform & CloudFormation), and custom security automation solutions. I’m a few months in, and my biggest challenge has been getting in front of the right people. I post on LinkedIn 1–2x a week to build domain authority, but it hasn’t translated into leads yet. For those already doing AWS consulting/security: - How did you land your first clients? - Did you partner with any other service providers? - What platforms or channels actually worked for you? - Am I targeting the wrong type of customer? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/drc243 [link] [comments]
