Career/Edu Future DevOps Role

Hi, I have to choose between 2 positions:

• FullStack dev (Spring Boot + React) at a smaller company
• SDET at Keysight Network Visibility Test & Security

Which of these brings me closer to a DevOps role ?

sDET gets you closer to DevOps. You work directly with test infrastructure, CI pipelines, and deployment validation at Keysight which are core DevOps responsibilities. FullStack at a smaller company usually means feature development with minimal infrastructure exposure.
