Yes, you can. I did the same. I was a Linux support guy, changed my career after talking to a guy on LinkedIn. He gave me a roadmap and told me about the nitty gritty. I am doing well, it's been 2 yrs since then.

Could you please guide me how to transition to devops role from support role ?

Yes ,you can switch from support to DevOps. The only thing which you need is hands on experience

There are lots of videos on YouTube where you can practice and get ideas about the project.. Once you will perfect in tools then any kinds of logic will solve

It was possible before but now everything changed as the recruiter knows many are faking they started to conduct extra rounds in the interview and checking we are able to crack the interview with hands on experience working . Even the interviewer knows if we lie.

I’m scared I won’t enjoy it, scared I’ll be bored!!!, scared I’ll fail, scared I’d be making a mistake. Any advice? Has anyone pivoted like this? I want to be open.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
