Devs who want a DevOps job, read this:
You're failing because you're doing the same thing that everybody else does.
Even though you have 2-8 years of experience, you're still just a junior in the CV pile.
What does everybody else do?
1. Watch random free video tutorials without a plan
2. Learn two cloud providers at once
3. Going straight for containers & Kubernetes
4. Consuming instead of building.
I've helped hundreds of people land DevOps jobs within months.
I went from nurse to Senior DevOps in 4 years and created a system to repeat these results in others.
If you're serious about landing a DevOps job, >> CLICK HERE << to book a call with my team to see if you qualify for my mentorship program. Only a few spots left for this week, so get it while there are still slots available.
Here's what you should do:
First, be intentional. Create a clear plan for yourself and study accordingly.
Having a clear plan starts with having a clear goal.
The main tech stack you should focus on:
- Linux - Containers
- Kubernetes
- Automation (CI/CD)
Stick to one cloud provider.
Research the market you wish to work in. Find which one has the most jobs.
Master that one.
Everything becomes easier when you master the fundamentals.
For DevOps, Linux is the root of everything.
If you don't understand Linux on a deep level, everything else becomes extremely difficult.
Don't skip the foundations if you want to build a strong building.
Instead of consuming video tutorials, you should start building.
Start with a desired outcome. Identify what you need to learn for that outcome.
Learn ONLY what you need to achieve that outcome.
Create a new desired outcome.
This is how you should learn.
Literally all of my students land their jobs because I teach them to build a Kubernetes homelab.
The interviewing process changes from a technical interrogation to a conversation about what you've built.
If you take away only one thing from this post, it should be this: Build a home lab.
