I regularly check my email; when I don’t see email notifications on my phone, two things come to mind, like slow network or it went to spam, so I quickly check to clear my doubts. My job requires that I communicate using several online channels, but the most important is my email.

Yesterday, something happened. I conducted my usual routine check to ensure all sent emails were attended to and didn’t miss any. While on tour, I stumbled on this particular mail that stopped me in my tracks. Based on the contents enshrined, I couldn’t be more sure it was written by a young man not older than 13 years of age.

In summary, he has a flair for IT and has a keen interest for DevOps in particular. He wants to know more about this career path but most notably about the opportunities that abound in becoming a successful DevOps Engineer. Saying I was bedazzled will be to water-down my emotions at the time. I felt this way because he meticulously opined that one must be skilled, mentored, experienced, knowledgeable, and trained in other to walk the hall of fame in this niche. Oh, I read with relish and offered to quench his curiosity almost immediately.

You see, according to Statista, a credible research company that specializes in market and consumer data, posited that the average DevOps Engineer salary of $150,683 is a little behind the CEO and VP categories. Here’s why this profession ranks 4th among the hardest to staff positions in the tech industry due to the hike in demand and unavailability of skilled and trained professionals.

DevOps has evolved from being just a “buzzword” to an established practice in the IT sector in the past years. There are a plethora of positions available presently for the skilled and trained in this niche. Trends in 2021 show that they will be linear growth, and DevOps will be the niche area of most desired among professionals.

The worldwide job search for DevOps professionals on different search engines and social media platforms is alarming. You can scoop that out and see for yourself.

Skills, mentorship, and training in this career path cannot be over-emphasized, either can you seek a short-cut to it. If your interest is vested on this path, then you need a structured system, one that is designed to ensure your growth and success, and DAREY.IO offers you this and more.

Little wonder Fabian has this to say [HERE]. You, too, can be like him and all you need do is make a DECISION to get your hands dirty by being consistent, thorough, focused, and disciplined, as this will guarantee your success 100%.
