The Answer to this query boils down to what you like and love to do. If DevOps is a domain that you like to invest your life into then it’s a good career option for you, and of not its not a career that would enjoy working in. But anyway, let me present some stats for you which would give you an idea about the career prospects:

Various Roles: With DevOps skills, you could have various job roles for you like Release Engineer, DevOps Lead, DevOps Engineer, DevOps Architect, DevOps Testing professional, DevOps System Engineer, etc.

Future-ready: The cloud and DevOps are integrating with each other, to deliver fast, efficient and quality services to their customers. And according to the World Economic Forum, IoT devices will surge to 20 billion in number by 2020 and will increase much more than that in the coming years. So, having DevOps as your skill will help in decreasing your job future anxiety.

Nice Paycheque: According to leading job portals like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, among many others, have reported a huge hike of 50% of DevOps skill as being required by the employers. And for that, they are paying a good package too. According to Glassdoor, the mean average salary of a qualified DevOps Engineer could be anywhere between $137,000-$180,000 (USD). But again salary numbers are based on multiple factors like work experience, job location, additional skill sets, type of company, etc. In India a DevOps Engineer is paid INR 6,59,000 according to Glassdoor, and the companies that are willing to hire are TCS, Cognizant, Accenture, IBM, Infosys, Amazon, etc.

Now, I will leave it to you to decide whether it’s a nice option for you or not. If you are sure that this is your career, then the best way forward is to get yourself certified. Learn DevOps and get yourself trained and certified by enrolling in the DevOps certification course from Intellipaat. And also watch our YouTube video on DevOps Career RoadMap.
