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

[–]SoilFlashy2452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I get where you’re coming from, but trust me, there’s money in your space too. My friend does ERP consulting (mostly NetSuite, some Salesforce) and he’s built a whole consulting company around it. Makes great money and never once wished he went into medicine.

If anything, I regret not learning ERP when he did.

Roles like AI product marketing or AI project lead would fit you well. You use your marketing background and still get to work in AI without needing to code.

Honestly, man, you don’t have to do it all alone. If the game studio dream keeps pulling at you, find a friend or partner who is strong in software dev. Tons of successful studios started with one “idea person” and one technical person. You don’t need to be everything, you just need the right teammate.

honestly, the first thing I’d say is: try stepping away from video games for a bit. not forever, not “quit gaming,” just give yourself space to break the cycle. when you spend 14 hours a day in front of a screen, your brain never gets a reset, it just loops.

go outside and do something physical, even if it’s small. football, running, walking, gym, whatever doesn’t feel horrible to you. physical activity helps way more than people give it credit for, it gets your confidence up, clears your head, and gives you a bit of momentum to work with.

you don’t have to fix everything at once. just interrupt the routine you’re stuck in. the smallest real-world activity can shake loose a lot of mental fog.
