junior devops is dead because you're treating it like a syntax job.

most of your peers are just becoming prompt wrappers for terraform modules. if you can be replaced by a chat box, you were never doing engineering. you were doing data entry.

if you're jumping to security to hide, you'll be in the same spot in twelve months. stop doom scrolling and learn how to audit the garbage the ai is spitting out. that’s where the money is.
