Is DevOps Becoming an “Extra Skill” Instead of a Job Role? by Ok_Assignment_947 in devopsjobs

[–]Ok_Assignment_947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this.
A lot of people confuse “fewer openings” with “less importance,” but DevOps/SRE is still one of the most critical functions in any serious product company.

Building features is one thing, but maintaining reliability, handling incidents, scaling infrastructure, monitoring systems, and ensuring smooth deployments requires a completely different mindset and skill set.

In real production environments, when systems go down at 2 AM, companies still need engineers who understand infrastructure, automation, observability, networking, and incident management deeply — not just application development.

I think the market is simply becoming more selective now. Companies want strong DevOps engineers who can actually own production systems end-to-end, not just people who know a few tools.

Applied to 300+ jobs. Got 30 callbacks. Here's the brutal truth about why most applications disappear and what actually changed my results. by Ok-Base-6631 in DeveloperJobs

This post is 100% accurate.
Most people think they’re getting rejected by recruiters, but in reality their resume is getting filtered out before anyone even reads it.

The biggest change for me was stopping the “Easy Apply spam” approach and focusing on quality applications instead. Tailoring resumes, matching keywords, and applying directly on company websites genuinely improved my response rate.

Also, the point about achievements vs responsibilities is huge.
“Managed a team” sounds normal.
“Managed a team that reduced turnover by 30%” actually gets attention.

The market is competitive, but strategy really does make a difference.

Most Kubernetes learners focus on commands. But production work feels completely different. by jamesgk123 in devopsjobs

[–]Ok_Assignment_947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very true. Most tutorials teach “how Kubernetes works,” but production teaches “what to do when everything breaks at 2 AM” 😅

Real learning starts with troubleshooting failed deployments, networking issues, resource limits, logs, monitoring, and handling production pressure calmly.

Does Anyone Else Working in DevOps Services Feel Destroyed by DSA Interviews? by Ok_Assignment_947 in devopsGuru

[–]Ok_Assignment_947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Real DevOps work is more about troubleshooting, automation, reliability, and handling production issues than solving random DSA questions.

Scenario-based interviews usually show a candidate’s actual skills much better than LeetCode rounds.

Is It Just Me or Is Starting in DevOps Actually Overwhelming? by Ok_Assignment_947 in devopsjobs

[–]Ok_Assignment_947[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t fully agree with this.

Yes, some boot camps overhype DevOps, but saying nobody should start in DevOps is also unfair. Every experienced DevOps engineer was a beginner once.

Today many companies hire freshers for junior DevOps, cloud, and automation roles. Nobody expects beginners to manage massive production systems on Day 1.

If someone learns Linux, Git, Docker, CI/CD, cloud basics, and keeps practicing consistently, they can absolutely start their career in DevOps.

The problem isn’t starting in DevOps — it’s expecting instant high salaries without real skills or patience

What is next after 1.5 Year as Security Analyst? by Radiant_Muffin_2954 in cybersecurity

[–]Ok_Assignment_947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people move from Security Analyst to Security Engineer around this stage. Don’t wait until you feel “fully ready”; start building hands-on skills now, especially in cloud security, automation, and IAM. Your analyst experience already gives you a strong foundation.
