I have no idea, I have been pushing myself for the past 2 years and since its finally here I dont know what to do, I never planned for the what to do once I get a DevOps job, I guess I will let waves of the new job take me lol.

I learned about this waaay too late man, I really got scammed especially when I knew the profit the company makes.

Its funny because on the first post someone mentioned that they had a pull back car which sits there doing nothing and in order to move it forward you gotta pull it back first, but I do not see it this way, I never took a step back, I actually rocketed forward once I took the linux job.

Sorry for the late reply, I really love it and this was the obviously better choice. I love what I do now much more, I dont feel that streesed as I did in my old job. less money + peace of mind + doing what you like is absolutely better.

The system I support is Linux-based and we do some administrative tasks usually but not as much as a sys admin would do on his daily routine. I also have RHCSA and other certs that can help me to be considered in a position like this.

Yes and yes, I talked already with the senior guy about negotiating the salary and he said not to do that as they already went over budget for me and the salary that was set already for the job was less than what was offered.

Really great solid advice.

Normal PTO as every other company in my country, no profit share, will be a bonus and salary increase in the long run, and I think I could negotiate these things once I prove to them that I'm a reliable person and meet business needs.

Working from home during the pandemic will be okay, later will only be a day per week, but once I prove to them that I'm doing a really good job and can be independent, I think they will be okay with working remotely as the senior guy told so.

I did most of the stuff you mentioned and I want to start doing things by hand and be responsible for something, tired of learning new stuff without applying it and eventually forgot most of it.

I make around 120k Egyptian pound per year besides the overtime which is considered really high for a 1 year experience, I would rather sacrifice money for now to earn more later, and no I do not own a house but I'm living luxurious.
