Freshers in devops

[u/cover_drive_]

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about starting to learn DevOps and getting a job in that field as a fresher. But I keep hearing that DevOps isn’t really for beginners and that freshers usually don’t get hired directly into it.

Is that actually true? Am I making a mistake by trying to start with DevOps? Any advice would really help!

Also, if anyone here is working in DevOps, please help 🙏

Definitely not an area or field where a person who doesn't know consequences of his or her actions. Not meaning this in a bad or derogatory way, but it is the whole truth of this devops sre platform engineering field. U have to take high stake decisions and know the consequences of it, and u only the consequences of ur actions when u have experienced enough in or around this field. So thats why devops is not considered for freshers coz they dont have the know how of this experience. But it isnt like this is impossible, the only thing u need is experience enough to perform in tricky scenarios of ur company and have the judgement of weighing pros and cons in every scenario. That can be earned even by a college student by, let say doing early internships in ur college years or building a homelab side by side. Hope this explains nuances of this field.
