There's literally 10 or more frontend jobs for each DevOps position you find advertised. Unless you think frontend dev is not "real software development", which wouldn't make any sense.
Additionally, DevOps requires much more knowledge about infrastructure than just learning some automation tools.
- linuxftw 4y agoWith a straight development role, you're going up against people with 4 year degrees. For the 'devops' side, these are skills that aren't typically achieved by university students. While there might be 1000 front end jobs, you're competing with 10k applicants. For 100 devops jobs, you're competing with 10 applicants.
