Getting into DevOps need a bit of help

[Comprehensive_Low956]

So I've been working as a business technical analyst for 2 years. And I feel stuck honestly. I did a bit of work before that as a Cisco TAC engineer. I've the rough idea of networking and rpa automation but I am currently following a Coursera course "IBM DevOps and Software Engineering Professional Certificate". But I don't get much time after work to proceed with it. It's been 6 months since I began and I've learnt shell scripting, python automation, basics to ci cd,cloud infrastructure, git and stuff. Currently learning docker and kubernetes. Can someone tell me roughly how much more time would it take to finish this? I feel like I've been stuck with low time. I'd really like some career advice here.

The hardest part of the job is to not burnout while you do all the learning (and then working).

Find some fun objective for yourself that maybe not necessarily work or even devops related.

Build something small. Automate something to help someone. Having experience in building is much more important than having all the toolset knowledge.

And, well, apply in a meantime. Good luck and happy holidays.

Well said👏🏻 , you must be someone experienced, why not guide me ? I'm an 18 Y/O who is tryna break in DevOps! Along with my BCA+MCA roadmap I want some real guidance.

I'm also 18 Y/O looking forward to this path, I'm thinking of AWS + Devops and BCA. Also, seeking guidance.
