Hi All,
I have been working as a DevOps Engineer in a Startup for almost 3 years (2yr as full-time and 1yr as an intern).
Skills: Docker, Jenkins, GCP, Ansible, AWS, Scripting

Now I plan to do some certifications to enhance my skills and to boost my resume. Can someone suggest how I should move ahead so that I can build a strong basement for my career also please suggest the certifications that will add value for the future.

3. AWS certified solutions architect Associate(if have exp and hands-on)
4. Hashicorp certified Terraform Associate
5. Docker certified Associate
6. Certified Kubernetes Admin
7. PCEP 30-02 for python scripting

I suggest you to also gain experience in security concepts.
This is actually a huge area we Devops also cover. The earlier mentioned list by fellow member is a good starter.
We can definitely keep this bowl active and help each other upskill.

like

5 yoe
25-27 give or take
Particularly in Devops

If you have good hands on on following expect more

AWS
K8
ArgoCD
Helm
Python scripting
Artifactory
Sonarqube

Any one other skills like SQL or NoSQL Kafka, elasticsearch, will be bonus and you'll have better pay like 30lpa. Product based look for such extra skills so that helps gain 5lpa more

Also my suggestion, never negotiate the salary on CTC. Always negotiate on fixed components. I never negotiated on CTC amount.

I usedto say I want this as fixed rest is upto you what you do

like

Personal experience, I received 30lpa as fixed when I had 5 yoe some years back. That too permanent wfh.
Came from product based and expertise on kafka, elasticsearch and big data and the CTC went approx 33.

I can't share it right now.
I even can't confirm if it was my last or current company.


I'll only say it's possible and since I have some data engineering skills on my resume, i achieved it in 5 yoe.

+1

@Lead Consultant1 can you tell me how much one should have the CTC with 5YOE? TechStack DevOps?
Also, i agree with DevSecOps perspective of yours we can have a look in grype and trivy for containers vulenrability scanning, AWS WAF for ingress traffic inspection, AWS Network firewall for egress traffic filtering, CHECKOV for terraform code vulenrability scanning and ISTIO as a service mesh for K8s security
Hope this helps :)

Start with RHCSA and AWS cloud practitioner.

Get an AWS CSA and CKAD, That's all you need.
