Since you niggas are so allergic to coding. I'll be revealing some jobs that require 0 coding and pay well in IT field. This is the first of the many threads i might post
Roles related to Microsoft Power Platform
		
		
	
	
		
 
	
Basically Microsoft Power Platform is a suite of low-code/no code tools that allows "citizen developers" (like business analysts, power users, and non-programmers) to build custom business solutions.
		
 
	
		
 
	
		
 
	
		
 
	
Typical workflow. I used ChatGPT for a typical workflow
1.Analyze (Power BI): A manager looks at a Power BI dashboard and notices that equipment maintenance requests in a specific factory are taking too long to approve
2.Act (Power Apps): To fix this, a "citizen developer" builds a simple mobile Power App. Now, factory floor technicians can instantly submit a maintenance request with a photo from their phone. The data is saved directly to a "Maintenance Requests" table in Dataverse
3. Automate (Power Automate): The
moment a new request is saved in Dataverse, it triggers a Power Automate flow. This flow instantly sends an adaptive card notification to the shift manager in Microsoft Teams with "Approve" and "Reject" buttons.
4. Dataverse (The Core): The manager clicks "Approve." The flow updates the request's status in Dataverse to "Approved" and automatically creates a work order in the system.
5. Communicate (Power Virtual Agents):
The technician can later go to the company's internal SharePoint site and ask a Power Virtual Agent bot, "What's the status of my request #12345?" The bot queries Dataverse and replies, "Your request #12345 has been approved and a work order is assigned
6. Analyze (Power BI): The original Power BI dashboard is now tracking this whole new process, showing the manager that the average approval time has dropped from 3 days to 15 minutes
Some of the jobs available.
Citizen Dev: Drag-drop forms, flows, dashboards. Hook into SharePoint/Excel/ Teams. Zero real code.
Power BI Analyst: Make pretty charts for the C-suite. Know Excel + how to click “Get Data".
Power Automate / RPA: Automate the soul-crushing email-forwarding life.
Power Platform Consultant: Talk to clients, draw boxes on whiteboards, map needs to too
All these are soft skills heavy and technical skills required can be learnt in 5-6 weeks on YouTube. They are basically devops adjacent roles. They are a bit uncommon to find but are open to entry level guys with little to no experience in the field also unlike Devops roles. Rolls-Royce famously uses power platform tools and hires people regularly. Coca-Cola, Nestle also.
		
 
	
I've seen these jobs go for around $80-90k. Sometimes 6 figures. Devops pays higher obviously but you are also not debugging Terraform state locks at 2 a.m like me either so it's not bad.Power Platform and related roles = 40% of the pain 70-75% of the pay of devops
