I went to a software engineering school (bootcamp) in San francisco where I became a full stack software engineer. I liked coding but didnt love it. I felt more at home automating things, setting up cyber security, bash scripting and working with linux systems so I automatically enjoyed the DevOps approach before I even knew what it was.
My first job out if the school was a DevOps position, I dont even know how I landed it because from my knowledge in order to work in DevOps you should have a couple years of being a programmer and sys admin experience and I'm fresh out. But what helped me was being diligent when I applied for jobs and showed the companies I knew what I was talking about even if I wasnt the most technical person
But I love working in DevOps but in the future i may want to shift to cybersecurity..idk though
