Re: Ask HN: How to find remote, part-time DevOps consulting positions?
#12I am doing some part-time consulting, dev work only. Would love to network with other part-time consultants. DevOps is my weak spot and would love to send that work to someone who is better at it than me. Maybe, we need a forum targeted towards part-timers.

#13I have four months of devops experience 5 years ago that I have listed on my LinkedIn profile. I went on to do other things. DevOps recruiters will not leave me alone, and many positions appear to be 6 month contracts. My advice is to place the keyword "devops" into your linkedin profile...
This clearly shows DevOps engineers are in high demand. If you don’t mind may I ask how was your experience as a DevOps Engineer. I would love to know as myself I’m exploring more about this field
Sorry for the late response. I think it very much depends on the team that you're on and if you have good technical mentorship or not. For me it was very challenging - I had to pick up a brand new set of skills, and the on call hours were brutal because the infrastructure would have issues in the middle of the night.
This diminishes and matures over time if you have good leadership, though.
If you're interested in DevOps, you really need to have a solid linux foundation, and the rest is learning how to automate cloud infrastructure.
It helps to have experience with software engineering, but not necessarily required. The work flow will be similar if you follow typical Agile development processes at the place you work.
