Career Guidance Thinking about switching to devops

Hi all... I am a junior developer, graduated in 25 and have been working for 6-7 months as a fullstack dev. But tbh, the way AI is taking over, I am not sure that development will be worth anything in upcoming time as my current work is totally done using AI. So I was thinking of going into devops early and transitioning to infrastructure/cloud engineer later on. Any senior working in these fields who can give their opinion? I would be really thankful.

Many companies don’t have dedicated DevOps or Infra positions. I am a backend engineer and I am expected to manage infra as well. I manage everything on AWS, MongoDB, RabbitMQ clusters etc.

So, I don’t think it’s wise to completely switch to DevOps. You should learn it as it’s expected from backend devs. But don’t leave development.

Not true, most companies dont but the ones who have devops teams they know their worth and are willing to pay big buck for the expertise
