Although the degree of difficulty w.r.t a question may differ, I think being proficient in these concepts can get you a job. It’s just that most of us struggle with solving problems(in an interview). I think these concepts cover pretty much everything a SRE would need to know.
- vultour 6y agoKnowing these things will absolutely help you get a job. The problem is that most SRE positions expect significant experience, so a "non-traditional" or "college grad" hire will not even be considered regardless of what they know.
- vsareto 6y agoThat's another thing that was bugging me: this is pretty easy level stuff for an SRE position from what I know. The other surprise was new grads being directly hired to SRE positions and it was my impression you needed professional skills in another area (at least sysadmin/cloud or programming) to transition over. That means there's a whole isolated career track for SREs now, but maybe LinkedIn hiring new grads for SRE is an anomaly.
- treeman79 6y agoCan almost be better not to transition. Newer Devops / SRE is about be declarative, letting them system build itself up. Mindset of old sysadmins is more tribal knowledge. You can get stuff done crazy fast are are awesome. But heaven help anyone that needs to mess with it.
