Seeking Insights on 2025 DevOps Job Market for 3 Years of Experience

Hi all, I’m trying to gauge the current job market for DevOps engineers with ~3 years of experience, as I’ve heard from friends that hiring isn’t great, but my network is limited. I’d love insights from the Grapevine community: Are companies actively hiring mid-level DevOps engineers in 2025, and which industries or regions are hot? Is the market competitive, with stable or declining salaries? What skills (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform) or certifications are must-haves to stand out? Are remote/hybrid roles still common? If you’ve recently landed a DevOps job or hired for one, what challenges did you face, and any tips for navigating the market? Thanks for sharing your experiences to help me plan my next steps!
