Become a software engineer, I was a sysadmin in my early career and I found it wasn't valued all that much by most organizations. The only place that was decent and gave me any autonomy, was the only one where I also wrote software for them.

- bityard 4y agoI am primarily a system administrator (among other roles) and have been looking to make the jump into DevOps for a while. The main issue seems to be that almost no company hires for entry-level or intermediate DevOps positions, only senior with 5+ years experience of very specific tools. My guess is most of those get filled internally as lateral moves from regular developer roles.

- shrimp_emoji 4y agoSome do hire entry level DevOps! There's a big demand for it, from where I'm standing. Those roles indeed get filled internally by devs, but it's tough since I don't think most devs want them. :p
- varjag 4y agothat's still sysadmin
