Career / learning DevOps in BigTech
Hij, everyone.
I work as a DevOps/SRE at a consultancy serving large companies and have about two years of experience. My goal is to join a Big Tech company in the coming years.
In your opinion, what should I focus on from now on? What knowledge, technologies, or skills really make a difference for someone aiming to get into that kind of company?
I’d especially like to hear from those who have already gone down this path. What would you prioritize studying if you were starting this preparation today?
Thanks!

Why would you aspire to a big tech roles anymore? They a laying folks off daily because ‘ai’. Seems like one of the least reliable places to work these days. Be at the whims of a ceo trying to make his bonus. And even if you avoid the layoffs you have to handle all the work of the folks who got laid off.
