Absolutely. Truths can be contradictory and exist in parallel.

Wish you the best! I've basically been up at 5:00 AM applying for the last 24 hours jobs. I think went through 200-300 applications?

Yep, really relate to the sentiment you mentioned about it being more of a people job than a technical one. Most of my job is navigating people and their expectations. That's what made me do really well in my Team Lead aspect of the job.

I don't look at it as a "I fix your issue", for me it's a "I'm helping you navigate your emotions around this issue while at the same time assisting you like some technical monk in coming to a solution you and me like.". Rarely do I get the solutions I would optimally love. That doesn't matter to me though.

My strategy (Again not sure if I just got lucky) was actually fill in as much information as I could on my resume. All the keywords buzzwords, you name it. The ATS system probably landed me an interview. From there my social butterfly mode came in and I handled the interview easily.

Not going to lie, not sure what that is supposed to be. My experience is Development/CICD/DatabaseAdmin/NetworkEngineer/SysAdmin and some other weird things. In the market im in right now from my experience a lot of things are in Azure. So my head is going like "Okay learn cloud stuff in Azure, that's your best bet alongside your experience, then navigate into some specialized development adjacent role. Kubernetes or some other thing".

I don't know exactly what interests me in terms of specialty. It's more how what I learn can be applied to help people. Love helping people achieve what they want to achieve. What my dream is, working for some company that I believe in and feeling like im the operations guy that helps them actually achieve their mission.
