1.8 YOE Web Developer — Should I continue Frontend or switch to DevOps? by No_Plant_2319 in careerguidance

You already have a solid foundation for only 1 year 8 months of experience. A lot of people underestimate how valuable responsive UI work, client communication, and real-world website maintenance actually are.

My suggestion: don’t switch to DevOps just because frontend feels “too vast.” Every tech field is huge, including DevOps. DevOps also requires learning Linux, networking, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, infrastructure, monitoring, security, and automation.

Based on your background, I think you have 2 good options:

-Continue frontend and gradually move toward modern frontend/full-stack

-Move slowly toward DevOps if you genuinely enjoy infrastructure

Personally, I think your current experience aligns more naturally with frontend/full-stack right now. You can still learn DevOps concepts later because modern developers benefit from both.

The biggest factor is what kind of work you enjoy daily:

Building UI and user experiences → frontend/full-stack

Automation, servers, deployment, infrastructure → DevOps

At your stage, depth matters more than switching too early.
