Hey everyone! I'm currently an IT engineer with about 1.5 years of experience, and I'm looking to switch to a DevOps engineer role. However, I'm finding it really challenging to break into this field. I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how to make this transition successfully!

Make sure to look for mentors or colleagues in your current team who can guide you. If you don't have someone, maybe consider online communities or local meetups where you can connect with others in the field. Having support can really help with the transition!
Before jumping into DevOps, have you considered gaining more experience in your current IT role? A lot of companies prefer candidates who have a solid foundation in IT before transitioning into DevOps. It might make you a more attractive candidate when the time comes!
I think a big reason some folks struggle when switching to DevOps is because they don't provide enough context about themselves in their posts. You're saying you can't get through, but what exactly do you mean? Sharing specific experiences, like what skills you have and your location, could help others offer better advice. Without that info, it makes it tough for people to help you out!
Totally agree! Setting the stage with your background can open doors to better suggestions.
Exactly! It's hard to give advice when there’s no context. It’s also vital to know what specific areas within DevOps you're interested in.
