I’m based in the UK and on an apprenticeship programme at work. After completing a general IT technician course at level 3 I’m moving onto a level 4 course. It looks like my choices are going to be devops or network engineering. I know a little about networks but I know nothing about devops. My question is, which is likely to give me more career opportunities?
Here (central EU) I see a lot of sysadmin job offers. They tend to be less well paid than developers, so unless you can become some senior “expert”, expect a pay cut. But people will always need someone to fix “the computer”.
