DevOps is a broad topic. In 3 years you have enough time to branch out to architecture, consulting, or scrum mastery. Those skills will be safe for longer.
I wouldn’t recommend scrum mastery. I took a few courses on a lark as I was transitioning from engineer into engineer manager. Dedicated scrum masters are a dime a dozen, and better to use it as a bonus if your passion is project management.
Maybe it’s just observational bias on my side. My company has to hire expensive talent from outside, because although we have a lot of internal scrum masters, it’s never enough.
For actually competent people, sure. I’m not one of them. I’ve had this job for 8 years and I’ve never been promoted.
I never really felt like I fit in with the company or culture either. I’m way too dumb to be doing somethig like this, let alone something even higher level.
