Hey everyone! I recently got hired as a Senior DevOps Engineer at a new company, and I'm curious about what changes I might face. Will the role be more focused on technical skills, or will it shift towards business goals? I'd love to hear insights from all the experienced Senior DevOps folks out there.

Congrats on the new role! You can expect more ownership and responsibility. It'll still be technical but with added focus on cross-team collaboration and strategy. It's an exciting opportunity!
It's important to do some research on how roles differ between companies. Titles can be misleading and don't always translate, so just keep that in mind as you settle in.
Be ready for more strategic decision-making and team management. While it may feel less hands-on, it really pushes you to step up as a leader within the team.
You might find yourself in more meetings and mentoring, with less focus on hands-on coding. It often transitions into a more strategic role, while still keeping some technical aspects. Just be prepared for that shift!
Yeah, exactly! You’ll still do some coding, but the emphasis is likely to be on leadership and collaboration.
Totally agree! Your ability to recommend solutions will also be crucial.
