DevOps. Even though it’s not supposed to be a title, it will instantly put you on the radar of a billion recruiters. It’s an insanely valuable skill to have.

How is the additional recruiter visibility useful given that

- they just got offered a job and won't be on the market in the near future

- they can clearly get a senior devops job anyway

“DevOps” is currently a hot buzzword in the industry, many non-technical people in management hear about DevOps and how it’s good but do not understand what it is. They proceed to conflate DevOps culture as a position or individual skill and seek out to hire anyone with the term on their resume.

Well that and the hodgepodge of skills that make up DevOps are not taught in university yet are desired from candidates who have established years of being a DevOps Engineer but given the field's infancy are in short supply.
