I'm currently a DevOps intern and I'm eager to become the best I can in this field. I've noticed that some people get higher-paying jobs at big companies while others remain at average companies with average salaries. I understand that luck and referrals play a part in this, but I'm really looking for advice on how I should invest my time and efforts over the next five years to stand out and excel in my career.

To be a top-notch DevOps professional, I recommend getting experience in a few areas: development, networking, cloud engineering, and Linux system administration. If you can balance these skills, you're on the right track!
Stick to what you're doing! If you keep learning and working hard, opportunities will come your way. Sure, some luck and connections help, but being diligent is key.

Could you suggest some practical steps for me to take?
