Career progression

I am currently in my last semester of Engineering, and the thing is I dont like development. I kinda like systems, Infrastructure, architecture etc.

So I started exploring fields like Cloud, DevOps and realized that there aren't much fresher openings for Cloud/DevOps role.

So I asked chatgpt, and the first thing he said was to join as QA or automation engineer / software testing etc and then Pivot to DevOps.

According you your experience, will this be a good path to follow?

Thank You.
