I'm thinking about a career shift into DevOps, but I've been struggling to get interview calls despite having 2.5 years of experience. I've heard from another candidate with 5 years of experience who's also facing the same issue. What could be going wrong? Did I waste my time focusing on DevOps, or is there a chance the job market will improve for DevOps roles in the future?

Honestly, it feels like DevOps is fading away. I showed up for work today expecting things to be normal, and my manager told me our jobs might be obsolete. It's a weird time right now for the industry.
I've been in DevOps for 2.5 years. It’s tough to say what’s going wrong without knowing your specific skills. Companies have shifted their requirements a lot. Perhaps your resume doesn't highlight what they’re looking for in DevOps candidates?
Honestly, DevOps was never as thriving as some claimed. It's always had its ups and downs, and right now it seems to be experiencing a dip.
I’m not really sure what Naukri is, but the job market for software positions in general is pretty bleak. If DevOps is your only selling point and it’s limited to writing YAML or managing Terraform, you might want to expand your skills. AI is stepping into those areas fast.
Just so you know, Naukri is a popular job board in India.
It really seems like the whole job board is shifting away from DevOps. It's hard to say if it will come back too.
Haha, that’s too funny! But seriously, it’s a valid concern.
