Following 
 Currently working as both (startups dont differentiate b/w BE and devops) 
 Would like to know if devops specialisation pays more. 
 One definite plus is devops is stack agnostic, so you can pretty much apply to most companies, while in BE you are restricted by stack

I don't think devops specifically pays more .. devops and swe payscales are similar

Software Engineer

How do you make the switch? Do you upskill without having any devops experience or do you have some on the job already?

I have had devops/ infra experience in my current role along with application programming

Working as a senior devops in a large size startup. The pay is comparatively more than be guys if similar experience. 
 I guess this also depends on how well you do within the role.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Indian. I am a SDE (backend) currently. ~2 yrs exp. 16 LPA and I work 40-50 hrs a week. I like where I am, but I am not feeling the zeal for tech anymore. Probably will do a MBA down the line (thinking abroad, not sure) 

Looking for equal or greater pay, similar WLB, new domain. Should I switch to PM and try a hand at it? 

Am I aware of the reality or living in my own isolated reality?

Want to switch from QE to DEV

Hello folks, I am working with a startup (now acquired by a big fintech) as FTE for 1.5 years now (Full stack dev) , my TC is 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed + Variable) in a permanent wfh model.

The reason I want to switch is that my tech team is very small (4 people) and there is no senior person in my team from whom I can learn something, thus my learning has become stagnant technical wise.

Should I try and switch company or stay in the same for more time, considering the current market scenario?

PS: I am a 2022 graduate.

Should I switch or not? Please help 🙏

I have about 3 years of experience in DevOps. I want to know how easy it is to switch to a dev role? 
My main concern being the culture of devops work and the pay gap. Devops roles don't pay as much. 
Any advices? 
TIA

Switch from DevOps to Dev

I am 32, and I am currently working in IT support (Incident/problem management. I have currently working in my company for 7 years, and I am currently very much underpaid even though my managers and management are happy with my work. 
I have tried to switch into the same domain in another companies but they are expecting me to lower down the salary, and then I came to know that this job role doesn't yield much and growth is dead end. 
So, I am looking to switch into Devops since I find it interesting after exploring other options. May I ask whether it is possible to make a switch after 11 years in the IT industry and how much realistically it is possible? I would appreciate your suggestion and feedback. Thank you

Hi All, 
Hope you are all doing well.
I'm stuck in support role, handling incident tickets & publishing status reports since 1.5 years. My learning is almost null.

I'm currently doing java DSA (350) & picking up on springboot tutorials. Given the support job role, 90 days np, & current market, how difficult is it to land a backend developer role. (Happy to take paycut).

Or should I just quit my current role & enroll for some placement bootcamps.

What can I do better to improve myself.

Thanks in advance.

Yoe: 2

Software Developer

Are Devops and Terraform good skills for a career switch ?

I am an AWS cloud and Python developer. Just wanted to know whether it is right time to Switch the company ?
How much salary raise I can expect from my current CTC ?
I have 5 years of experience.

Good time to Switch?

I have 4.5ish years of experience. I recently made a transition from a devops role to a purely dev role. 

After considering many factors like the 'kind of work', opportunities at other companies, pay, etc. I decided to pursue being a full fleged software dev. The main deciding factor for the transition was simply that I found the ops part of the work quite tedious.

The management was very welcoming and even setup a up a roadmap to help me move.

My dessignation was officially changed to Sr. Software Developer last month after three months of doing a little bit of both.

I now have a great deal of things to learn so that I can catch up to my peers. It's scary but also v exciting.

I'm not sure if it is an achievement but it sure feels like one. So feel free to AMA.

Is it a good idea to switch from general SWE role to devops/infra kind of role considering there is good TC bump ?
