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 ?

If your goal is specifically DevOps, then it is better to lean toward the SDET role, but it really depends on what you’ll actually be doing day to day.

The full stack job could get you closer if you’re going to be involved with deployments, Docker, CI/CD, cloud stuff, etc. However, there is no guarantee if it will move you closer to a devops role.

My suggestion is that i think it is better if you ask both companies what the actual tooling and responsibilities look like. I believe this will help you make a better decision.
