While DevOps jobs are available, they are pretty saturated, particularly for entry-level positions. Most firms prefer candidates with some experience. The landscape is continually changing due to AI, and while it enhances efficiency, it also means some roles are getting competitive. If you're looking at DevOps, ensure you're building a solid foundation with relevant skills before applying.
