Some thoughts: 1) if the employer thinks DevOps is all about knowing how docker and k8s work, it's not a DevOps role (which doesn't actually exist by the way).

Some thoughts: 1) if the employer thinks DevOps is all about knowing how docker and k8s work, it's not a DevOps role (which doesn't actually exist by the way). a lot of employers think DevOps means "sysadmin in the cloud that can follow an sdlc", so you have to ask lots of questions to find out just wtf they're actually looking for. 2) if they ask stupid questions and generally don't seem invested in finding the right candidate, it was a crap job and you dodged a bullet.
