This was my exact experience when I interviewed and worked for the data storage domain. Great info for those considering applying.

She makes it sound easier than it is. First of all you need a Computer Science degree from a top school just to break into Deloitte Cyber Security. Then she obviously prepared a lot to understand network, infrastructure, and cloud prior to applying her knowledge on personal projects even before attempting interviews for AWS cloud positions. For people who do not have the luxury of attending a top school and being employed by Deloitte, you're looking at 3-5 years of IT Help and support roles just to get that first position in a cyber or cloud domain, along with having a much harder time applying projects, since some of her knowledge came from within Deloitte itself. Most new people will need security+, net+, and maybe even A+ if you are a complete beginner. She is so fortunate, but hard work early in life (high school) does pay off.
