Do you know how to break into such fields, for someone having experience operating on-prem infra at a smaller scale?
Back in 2022 you could make the moves, but I think now it is very hard to make the jump.
Part of the issue with building and running very large on-prem infrastructure is that you can only get experience by doing it. It not like you can run thousands of racks in multiple datacenters as a personal side project.
