Frequently Asked Questions

Why become a DevOps Engineer?

Everyone has their own reason(s) as to why they want to become a DevOps Engineer. But here are a few of the best reasons:

  1. Lots of jobs available. As we're writing this, there are over 33,000 DevOps Engineer jobs available on Glassdoor (not to mention Linkedin, Indeed, or elsewhere). And it isn't going to slow down.
  2. High demand = High salary. The average annual salary for a DevOps Engineer in the United States is over $114,000 across all levels (entry-level to senior). This amount can also be much higher at major tech companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and others.
  3. No degree required. You can definitely get hired as a DevOps Engineer at the company of your dreams without having any college degree.
  4. Work remotely. Many DevOps Engineering jobs are remote. Work from the comfort of your own home, a coffee shop, or even while traveling the world. Some roles even allow you to work on your own schedule.
  5. It's fun. And rewarding. You get to have a real-world impact. The work you're doing on a daily basis can have a huge impact on hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people.
