Hey there - professionally I'm a sr cloud engineer focused on Azure. I have an interest in quantum as a hobbyist and maybe a career focus in coming years/decades. Katas seems like a good place to learn things, but if you were to give a 5 year outlook, what specifically should I be looking into? Is there something as an administrator/architect of these quantum products that I should focus expertise on? Or something in the Azure/O365/etc ecosystem I should be looking at that leverages these technologies? If I was to become a consultant, what would be my focus as an Azure cloud engineer in relation to quantum technologies?I'm unsure I am even asking the right questions. I'd appreciate any direction you can give me!

What do you hope to be doing in 5 years? Architecting quantum solutions? Reselling or consulting on cloud solutions? Building quantum applications?
I think the quantum space will have quite a bit of progress in 5 years, but I think most experts in the space (of which I'm NOT one) think we're still over 5 years out before there's broad adoption on running quantum programs with significant business value. (i.e, it'll still largely be researchers and bleeding edge adopters).
Opinions are my own, etc.
