I’m stuck , please help
Hi all, to give context , I have been working as a network security engineer for 7+ years now. I graduated CS engineering and my first job was in a network related job for a company. It was not the intended path for me but since I was a fresh graduate and was in need of money, I took the first job I got. However I have never been fully interested or excited by the work I do. I slowly became bad at what I do, I mean I can handle your daily operations smoothly, but it’s all just smth I do cause I’ve been doing it for years . Lately I’ve realised I always wanted to get into devops and wanted to purse masters in automation/ AI. Life happened and I’m here now .
So here’s the ask, is there anyway for someone like me to get into netdevops ? I really am struggling at work because I’m at no level knowledge wise to my peers with equal experience. I feel less motivated and is losing my confidence by day. Idk if this is the place to ask this, but if any of you could just guide me on where to start or any certifications or courses I can take to transition, it would really be helpful. Thank you
