A a friend of mine said he could recommend me to a junior DevOps role at the company he works in, but I’m interested mostly in back-end development and DevOps is not really something I like. The question is: could I use experience as a DevOps to later switch to back-end? Edit: more detail
Devops is a nice skill to have for a backend developer, however I’m not sure it is fair on your friend if you take a role you don’t really want and might not perform well in.
I agree with input’s input, regarding devops skills being highly beneficial for a BE dev. It’s knowledge that has gotten me better pay, and better job security.
