I've been listening to the "DevOps is a culture, not a role" mantras on HN and elsewhere for years now. Meanwhile, I've been working precisely as a DevOps Engineer/SRE and doubling my income every year or two.
The job is what you and your colleagues make it out to be. You are there to fill a certain need and a knowledge gap within the team. Figure out what that is and you are golden.
- Jumziey 5y agoYou having a successful career is not really relevant to the discussion. I do agree though that the most important part of a professional life is to fill the gap within your team. But that's another discussion.
- moondev 5y agoTotally agree. In my experience it seems engineering titles and the associated role/duty are wildly inconsistent between companies. The company size and industry have a huge impact. For some reason "DevOps Engineer" is much more polarizing than "FullStack Engineer" or "Senior Developer"
- hacker_newz 5y agoHow do you double your income yearly?
- poooogles 5y agoFor the first couple of years it's possible. I'm not sure it's going to work past year 3 or maybe 4.
- dijit 5y agostart with very low income and only have a small number of years in industry. 15k -> 30k -> 60k -> 120k
- crypt1d 5y agoHeh I may have exaggerated a bit to make a point ;) realistically its more like every 2 years or so, and partially because I started from a junior role in an enterprise environment and worked my way up to independent consulting.
- dharmab 5y agoPart time junior -> full time junior -> senior -> lead over 5 or 6 years. Also if you have stock at a successful company in the past couple of years things have gone vertical.
