If you're struggling to get hired as a If you're struggling to get hired as a DevOps engineer, you are probably doing DevOps engineer, you are probably doing DevOps engineer, you are probably doing the wrong things. I have created a tier the wrong things. I have created a tier the wrong things. I have created a tier list of activities that have the highest list of activities that have the highest list of activities that have the highest leverage that you can do to land your leverage that you can do to land your leverage that you can do to land your first DevOps job today. So, let's jump first DevOps job today. So, let's jump first DevOps job today. So, let's jump in. So, the tier list has S tier to F in. So, the tier list has S tier to F in. So, the tier list has S tier to F tier and I'm going to start with F tier tier and I'm going to start with F tier tier and I'm going to start with F tier and after that I'm going to go to S tier and after that I'm going to go to S tier and after that I'm going to go to S tier and work my way downwards from and work my way downwards from and work my way downwards from there. So, beginning with F tier there. So, beginning with F tier there. So, beginning with F tier activities, these are not necessarily activities, these are not necessarily activities, these are not necessarily useless. It's just that they have the useless. It's just that they have the useless. It's just that they have the lowest leverage. They have the lowest lowest leverage. They have the lowest lowest leverage. They have the lowest increase of the chances of you getting increase of the chances of you getting increase of the chances of you getting your first DevOps job. So, the first one your first DevOps job. So, the first one your first DevOps job. So, the first one here is having a high school diploma. here is having a high school diploma. here is having a high school diploma. It's useful, but it's not it's not the It's useful, but it's not it's not the It's useful, but it's not it's not the highest education that you can get, and highest education that you can get, and highest education that you can get, and that's why it's on the F tier. Secondly, that's why it's on the F tier. Secondly, that's why it's on the F tier. Secondly, is free YouTube videos. You can learn a is free YouTube videos. You can learn a is free YouTube videos. You can learn a lot from YouTube, but it's not actually lot from YouTube, but it's not actually lot from YouTube, but it's not actually increasing your chances of getting a job increasing your chances of getting a job increasing your chances of getting a job because YouTube content is free. And you because YouTube content is free. And you because YouTube content is free. And you can learn a lot from free content, but can learn a lot from free content, but can learn a lot from free content, but if something is free, it necessarily if something is free, it necessarily if something is free, it necessarily doesn't have as much value as something doesn't have as much value as something doesn't have as much value as something that you have to pay for. Everything that you have to pay for. Everything that you have to pay for. Everything that has high value is offered for a that has high value is offered for a that has high value is offered for a price in a capitalist society.

price in a capitalist society. price in a capitalist society. Everything that's free by its very Everything that's free by its very Everything that's free by its very definition because it's free has little definition because it's free has little definition because it's free has little to no to no to no value. And lastly, there is Udemy value. And lastly, there is Udemy value. And lastly, there is Udemy courses. Udemy courses are very cheap. courses. Udemy courses are very cheap. courses. Udemy courses are very cheap. They offer certificates and many people They offer certificates and many people They offer certificates and many people actually list them on LinkedIn, but they actually list them on LinkedIn, but they actually list them on LinkedIn, but they are essentially worthless because you are essentially worthless because you are essentially worthless because you can just click through all of those and can just click through all of those and can just click through all of those and you get an automated certificate and you get an automated certificate and you get an automated certificate and that's it. And you don't have you don't that's it. And you don't have you don't that's it. And you don't have you don't even have to know the material in order even have to know the material in order even have to know the material in order to get your certificate. So even though to get your certificate. So even though to get your certificate. So even though it is useful to learn, it doesn't it is useful to learn, it doesn't it is useful to learn, it doesn't actually increase your chances of actually increase your chances of actually increase your chances of landing your first job. Now going to the S tier. So what job. Now going to the S tier. So what does increase the chances? Well, of does increase the chances? Well, of does increase the chances? Well, of course, number one is actual job course, number one is actual job course, number one is actual job experience in the field, which is why I experience in the field, which is why I experience in the field, which is why I have a shovel there. If you have a year have a shovel there. If you have a year have a shovel there. If you have a year of actual junior DevOps experience on of actual junior DevOps experience on of actual junior DevOps experience on your CV, that's that is golden, right? your CV, that's that is golden, right? your CV, that's that is golden, right? If you have just one year of experience, If you have just one year of experience, If you have just one year of experience, you have a DevOps career. And if you're you have a DevOps career. And if you're you have a DevOps career. And if you're if you're making a 100K a year, over the if you're making a 100K a year, over the if you're making a 100K a year, over the next 10 years, you're going to be making next 10 years, you're going to be making next 10 years, you're going to be making a million dollars. That's that's how a million dollars. That's that's how a million dollars. That's that's how simple it is. So that's also why I simple it is. So that's also why I simple it is. So that's also why I advise to to accept low pay in your advise to to accept low pay in your advise to to accept low pay in your first years. In your first two years, first years. In your first two years, first years. In your first two years, just work for minimum wage because just work for minimum wage because just work for minimum wage because you're going to make it back anyway.
-
you're going to make it back anyway. you're going to make it back anyway. People get very conceited about their People get very conceited about their People get very conceited about their how much they should be getting paid how much they should be getting paid how much they should be getting paid when you're when they're a junior and when you're when they're a junior and when you're when they're a junior and that's completely the wrong way to go that's completely the wrong way to go that's completely the wrong way to go about it. Skills are the most valuable about it. Skills are the most valuable about it. Skills are the most valuable asset that you have. Second one is a asset that you have. Second one is a asset that you have. Second one is a network. Not not talking about LinkedIn network. Not not talking about LinkedIn network. Not not talking about LinkedIn here. I'm actually talking about having here. I'm actually talking about having here. I'm actually talking about having friends in senior positions in the friends in senior positions in the friends in senior positions in the industry who can refer jobs to you. industry who can refer jobs to you. industry who can refer jobs to you. Because the way it works is that most Because the way it works is that most Because the way it works is that most jobs actually don't get posted on job jobs actually don't get posted on job jobs actually don't get posted on job boards etc. They don't get posted on boards etc. They don't get posted on boards etc. They don't get posted on LinkedIn. When you have a a a high LinkedIn. When you have a a a high LinkedIn. When you have a a a high functioning team, there will be high functioning team, there will be high functioning team, there will be high functioning engineers there and then the functioning engineers there and then the functioning engineers there and then the hiring manager will ask those engineers, hiring manager will ask those engineers, hiring manager will ask those engineers, hey, do you know anybody who is looking hey, do you know anybody who is looking hey, do you know anybody who is looking for something? And then they will refer for something? And then they will refer for something? And then they will refer to them. Secondly, companies usually to them. Secondly, companies usually to them. Secondly, companies usually have employee benefits or referral have employee benefits or referral have employee benefits or referral programs. So, if I'm an employee and I programs. So, if I'm an employee and I programs. So, if I'm an employee and I refer a candidate who is actually good refer a candidate who is actually good refer a candidate who is actually good and who will get hired, many companies and who will get hired, many companies and who will get hired, many companies will actually give me a bonus for like will actually give me a bonus for like will actually give me a bonus for like $3,000 a year or something per $3,000 a year or something per $3,000 a year or something per candidate. So, there's a high incentive candidate. So, there's a high incentive candidate. So, there's a high incentive for well functioning individuals to for well functioning individuals to for well functioning individuals to actually seek out other people in their actually seek out other people in their actually seek out other people in their network. This is why having a good network. This is why having a good network. This is why having a good network is so important. And I'm going network is so important. And I'm going network is so important. And I'm going to explain how you can get this network to explain how you can get this network to explain how you can get this network in a second. And the third one here is in a second. And the third one here is in a second. And the third one here is um having internship experience on your um having internship experience on your um having internship experience on your CV or having some sort of actual CV or having some sort of actual CV or having some sort of actual verified work experience on your CV in
-
verified work experience on your CV in verified work experience on your CV in the DevOps field. And this logo here, the DevOps field. And this logo here, the DevOps field. And this logo here, you might recognize it is from my you might recognize it is from my you might recognize it is from my CubeCraft community. So even with the CubeCraft community. So even with the CubeCraft community. So even with the internship and the network, those things internship and the network, those things internship and the network, those things are two things that you will be getting are two things that you will be getting are two things that you will be getting when you join my CubeCraft community. So when you join my CubeCraft community. So when you join my CubeCraft community. So the latest addition here is my the latest addition here is my the latest addition here is my contribution to solving the problem contribution to solving the problem contribution to solving the problem of you want to get a job but in order to of you want to get a job but in order to of you want to get a job but in order to get the job you need the experience but get the job you need the experience but get the job you need the experience but you need a job to get the experience you need a job to get the experience you need a job to get the experience right that's this is the chicken and egg right that's this is the chicken and egg right that's this is the chicken and egg problem how can you get the job problem how can you get the job problem how can you get the job experience if you don't have a job so I experience if you don't have a job so I experience if you don't have a job so I have created a solution for this and have created a solution for this and have created a solution for this and it's called the cubecraft internship so it's called the cubecraft internship so it's called the cubecraft internship so when you join cubecraft you can join an when you join cubecraft you can join an when you join cubecraft you can join an internship and what it does is it will internship and what it does is it will internship and what it does is it will provide you with a structured approach provide you with a structured approach provide you with a structured approach of courses to complete, projects to of courses to complete, projects to of courses to complete, projects to build and activities to perform in the build and activities to perform in the build and activities to perform in the community. These are all going to verify community. These are all going to verify community. These are all going to verify your technical expertise and you will your technical expertise and you will your technical expertise and you will track them in a certain sheet when you track them in a certain sheet when you track them in a certain sheet when you have reached a certain um level of in have reached a certain um level of in have reached a certain um level of in the sheet. Then you can send it to me the sheet. Then you can send it to me the sheet. Then you can send it to me for verification. And then what you can for verification. And then what you can for verification. And then what you can do is you can go to your do is you can go to your do is you can go to your LinkedIn and you can go to your work LinkedIn and you can go to your work LinkedIn and you can go to your work experience or your profile add a experience or your profile add a experience or your profile add a position and you do junior DevOps position and you do junior DevOps position and you do junior DevOps engineer and had engineer and had engineer and had CubeCraft as the company and the CubeCraft as the company and the CubeCraft as the company and the duration will be the duration of your duration will be the duration of your duration will be the duration of your membership. So you can actually put
-
membership. So you can actually put membership. So you can actually put junior DevOps engineer at my company at junior DevOps engineer at my company at junior DevOps engineer at my company at QCraft when you join my community and QCraft when you join my community and QCraft when you join my community and apply for the internship and then when apply for the internship and then when apply for the internship and then when you are seeking employment and someone you are seeking employment and someone you are seeking employment and someone asks for verification I will provide you asks for verification I will provide you asks for verification I will provide you with my contact details and your with my contact details and your with my contact details and your potential employer can contact me and I potential employer can contact me and I potential employer can contact me and I will verify your knowledge what you have will verify your knowledge what you have will verify your knowledge what you have done and what you have learned in QC. done and what you have learned in QC. done and what you have learned in QC. This is something that you're never This is something that you're never This is something that you're never going to find anywhere else and this is going to find anywhere else and this is going to find anywhere else and this is my way of solving this problem. So it's my way of solving this problem. So it's my way of solving this problem. So it's not just watching courses. You actually not just watching courses. You actually not just watching courses. You actually have to know your stuff. You actually have to know your stuff. You actually have to know your stuff. You actually have to create things and build things have to create things and build things have to create things and build things and which I can verify and that way I and which I can verify and that way I and which I can verify and that way I will verify the experience for you and will verify the experience for you and will verify the experience for you and help you landing that first job. So, if help you landing that first job. So, if help you landing that first job. So, if that sounds interesting to you, with the that sounds interesting to you, with the that sounds interesting to you, with the internship, but also 40 hours of internship, but also 40 hours of internship, but also 40 hours of courses, building a network where people courses, building a network where people courses, building a network where people are posting jobs almost every week and are posting jobs almost every week and are posting jobs almost every week and where you can get these connections that where you can get these connections that where you can get these connections that are already working in the industry in are already working in the industry in are already working in the industry in your local area because we have a map of your local area because we have a map of your local area because we have a map of people that will show you where people that will show you where people that will show you where everybody is located. So, if you're everybody is located. So, if you're everybody is located.

No, this is highly highly um well-crafted deep is highly highly um well-crafted deep is highly highly um well-crafted deep technical blog posts that you have technical blog posts that you have technical blog posts that you have written yourself without AI. that is written yourself without AI. that is written yourself without AI. that is something that will contribute to you something that will contribute to you something that will contribute to you getting a job if you do it well because getting a job if you do it well because getting a job if you do it well because good posts get good engagement and they good posts get good engagement and they good posts get good engagement and they spread your knowledge um and and spread your knowledge um and and spread your knowledge um and and therefore establish you as an authority. therefore establish you as an authority. therefore establish you as an authority. Secondly, there is high-end Secondly, there is high-end Secondly, there is high-end certifications. So here I'm talking like certifications. So here I'm talking like certifications. So here I'm talking like CKA, CKS, Red Hat certified um system CKA, CKS, Red Hat certified um system CKA, CKS, Red Hat certified um system administrator. These are certifications administrator. These are certifications administrator. These are certifications where you actually have to sit down, get where you actually have to sit down, get where you actually have to sit down, get a server environment and you have to a server environment and you have to a server environment and you have to perform practical tasks within a time perform practical tasks within a time perform practical tasks within a time limit. These are high-end certifications limit. These are high-end certifications limit. These are high-end certifications that verify that you actually can do that verify that you actually can do that verify that you actually can do practical uh tasks instead of just practical uh tasks instead of just practical uh tasks instead of just learning theory and doing multiple learning theory and doing multiple learning theory and doing multiple choice questions. Those certifications choice questions. Those certifications choice questions. Those certifications are good, but they are not as good as are good, but they are not as good as are good, but they are not as good as these high-end C certifications. And if these high-end C certifications. And if these high-end C certifications. And if you can get cubes or not, then this is a you can get cubes or not, then this is a you can get cubes or not, then this is a super high leverage that you can add to super high leverage that you can add to super high leverage that you can add to your um career journey. Next is having your um career journey. Next is having your um career journey. Next is having Kubernetes experience, practical Kubernetes experience, practical Kubernetes experience, practical experience. This doesn't have to be uh experience. This doesn't have to be uh experience. This doesn't have to be uh in a formal job. This can be done in in a formal job. This can be done in in a formal job. This can be done in your home lab. I have learned more about your home lab. I have learned more about your home lab. I have learned more about Kubernetes in my home lab running here Kubernetes in my home lab running here Kubernetes in my home lab running here in my closet than what I did in in my closet than what I did in in my closet than what I did in enterprise environments because here I
-
enterprise environments because here I enterprise environments because here I have the freedom to break stuff to try have the freedom to break stuff to try have the freedom to break stuff to try things out to build things up the way I things out to build things up the way I things out to build things up the way I like it without the pressure of a like it without the pressure of a like it without the pressure of a production environment behind me. So you production environment behind me. So you production environment behind me. So you don't need to be working as a CIS admin don't need to be working as a CIS admin don't need to be working as a CIS admin on Kubernetes in order to get Kubernetes on Kubernetes in order to get Kubernetes on Kubernetes in order to get Kubernetes experience. And likewise you can because experience. And likewise you can because experience. And likewise you can because of GitOps you can document this of GitOps you can document this of GitOps you can document this experience on GitHub and then you use experience on GitHub and then you use experience on GitHub and then you use this as a verification of your skills this as a verification of your skills this as a verification of your skills and people can for in my case for my and people can for in my case for my and people can for in my case for my home lab people can come in look at my home lab people can come in look at my home lab people can come in look at my code and see what I can do and this is code and see what I can do and this is code and see what I can do and this is the best way that you can verify or that the best way that you can verify or that the best way that you can verify or that you can showcase your skills and if you you can showcase your skills and if you you can showcase your skills and if you want to get started with this I have the want to get started with this I have the want to get started with this I have the only Kubernetes home lab course on the only Kubernetes home lab course on the only Kubernetes home lab course on the internet. It will teach you everything internet. It will teach you everything internet. It will teach you everything from A to Z, how to set it up with this from A to Z, how to set it up with this from A to Z, how to set it up with this public facing uh CV project. It's the public facing uh CV project. It's the public facing uh CV project. It's the only course of its kind on the internet. only course of its kind on the internet. only course of its kind on the internet. Join CubeCraft if you want to get Join CubeCraft if you want to get Join CubeCraft if you want to get access. And the fourth one is having an access. And the fourth one is having an access. And the fourth one is having an online presence, LinkedIn, GitHub, online presence, LinkedIn, GitHub, online presence, LinkedIn, GitHub, getting a blog, etc. And this is also I getting a blog, etc. And this is also I getting a blog, etc. And this is also I teach this in my CubeCraft community as teach this in my CubeCraft community as teach this in my CubeCraft community as well, how to do this. Now go moving on to Btier. The this. Now go moving on to Btier. The first one here is having a bachelor's first one here is having a bachelor's first one here is having a bachelor's degree. This doesn't necessarily have to degree. This doesn't necessarily have to degree. This doesn't necessarily have to be a CS degree. I, for example, have a be a CS degree. I, for example, have a be a CS degree. I, for example, have a bachelor's degree in the English bachelor's degree in the English bachelor's degree in the English language. I am not a CS major. However, language. I am not a CS major. However, language. I am not a CS major. However, I am very successful and I never have to I am very successful and I never have to I am very successful and I never have to apply for jobs. The jobs come to me and
-
apply for jobs. The jobs come to me and apply for jobs. The jobs come to me and I work six figure freelance contracts as I work six figure freelance contracts as I work six figure freelance contracts as a senior DevOps engineer. So, I'm the a senior DevOps engineer. So, I'm the a senior DevOps engineer. So, I'm the living proof. It doesn't have to be a um living proof. It doesn't have to be a um living proof. It doesn't have to be a um CS degree. However, if it is a CS CS degree. However, if it is a CS CS degree. However, if it is a CS degree, it does increase your chances degree, it does increase your chances degree, it does increase your chances slightly. If you have a bachelor's slightly. If you have a bachelor's slightly. If you have a bachelor's degree, that shows to employers that you degree, that shows to employers that you degree, that shows to employers that you have a certain level of intelligence and have a certain level of intelligence and have a certain level of intelligence and a certain level of commitment and a certain level of commitment and a certain level of commitment and ability to adhere to certain standards ability to adhere to certain standards ability to adhere to certain standards and perform assignments. So, it is very and perform assignments. So, it is very and perform assignments. So, it is very useful. Secondly, there is uh knowing a useful. Secondly, there is uh knowing a useful. Secondly, there is uh knowing a programming language. This can be Python programming language. This can be Python programming language. This can be Python or Go. But we are as a DevOps engineer, or Go. But we are as a DevOps engineer, or Go. But we are as a DevOps engineer, we are not software engineers, right? We we are not software engineers, right? We we are not software engineers, right? We don't have to build very complicated don't have to build very complicated don't have to build very complicated software as DevOps engineers. We usually software as DevOps engineers. We usually software as DevOps engineers. We usually have to either write simple APIs or we have to either write simple APIs or we have to either write simple APIs or we need to learn how to stitch several APIs need to learn how to stitch several APIs need to learn how to stitch several APIs together for example. So we don't need together for example. So we don't need together for example. So we don't need to have high-end software engineering to have high-end software engineering to have high-end software engineering skills and know all of the algorithms skills and know all of the algorithms skills and know all of the algorithms etc. that it we you don't need to have etc. that it we you don't need to have etc. that it we you don't need to have that kind of level, but you do need to that kind of level, but you do need to that kind of level, but you do need to know the know the know the fundamentals, functions, object-oriented fundamentals, functions, object-oriented fundamentals, functions, object-oriented programming, how to write a simple programming, how to write a simple programming, how to write a simple Python program that does what you need Python program that does what you need Python program that does what you need to do. And yes, we can use AI, but you to do. And yes, we can use AI, but you to do. And yes, we can use AI, but you shouldn't be relying on AI too much. If shouldn't be relying on AI too much. If shouldn't be relying on AI too much. If you can only do this with AI, this is you can only do this with AI, this is you can only do this with AI, this is not the right level that you should be not the right level that you should be not the right level that you should be going for. Um, at at this point it is I going for. Um, at at this point it is I going for. Um, at at this point it is I was struggling with placing this one was struggling with placing this one was struggling with placing this one because at this point knowing how to because at this point knowing how to because at this point knowing how to code is not necessarily optional anymore
-
code is not necessarily optional anymore code is not necessarily optional anymore as a DevOps engineer. It's more of a as a DevOps engineer. It's more of a as a DevOps engineer. It's more of a requirement. But um, in terms of requirement. But um, in terms of requirement. But um, in terms of contributing to your chances, it stands contributing to your chances, it stands contributing to your chances, it stands in the B tier. Moving on to the C tier, the first tier. Moving on to the C tier, the first one would be an associate level degree. one would be an associate level degree. one would be an associate level degree. So although useful, it is not as useful So although useful, it is not as useful So although useful, it is not as useful as you might think. as you might think. as you might think. Number two here being a boot camp. Boot Number two here being a boot camp. Boot Number two here being a boot camp. Boot camps have quite a bad reputation and camps have quite a bad reputation and camps have quite a bad reputation and it's mostly in like front-end it's mostly in like front-end it's mostly in like front-end development circles that you see boot development circles that you see boot development circles that you see boot camps. A DevOps boot camp. I'm not sure camps. A DevOps boot camp. I'm not sure camps. A DevOps boot camp. I'm not sure how much you can actually learn in six how much you can actually learn in six how much you can actually learn in six weeks and how deep your knowledge can weeks and how deep your knowledge can weeks and how deep your knowledge can go. So, I place them at Ctier. They're go. So, I place them at Ctier. They're go. So, I place them at Ctier. They're probably very efficient ones, but I have probably very efficient ones, but I have probably very efficient ones, but I have yet to see a good boot camp that yet to see a good boot camp that yet to see a good boot camp that actually teaches you what to do. In that actually teaches you what to do. In that actually teaches you what to do. In that case, it's much better to do an qcraft case, it's much better to do an qcraft case, it's much better to do an qcraft internship, which takes longer, but will internship, which takes longer, but will internship, which takes longer, but will actually actually actually verified knowledge and high-end verified knowledge and high-end verified knowledge and high-end projects. And I can tell you that when projects. And I can tell you that when projects. And I can tell you that when you complete this internship, you will you complete this internship, you will you complete this internship, you will have a much higher level of knowledge have a much higher level of knowledge have a much higher level of knowledge than I had when I landed my first junior than I had when I landed my first junior than I had when I landed my first junior DevOps job.

DevOps job. DevOps job. Third one in the list is uh entry-level Third one in the list is uh entry-level Third one in the list is uh entry-level certifications like CompTIA plus or certifications like CompTIA plus or certifications like CompTIA plus or Azure fundamentals. These kinds of Azure fundamentals. These kinds of Azure fundamentals. These kinds of certifications certifications certifications um Azure administrator is probably in um Azure administrator is probably in um Azure administrator is probably in between here like the high-end ones and between here like the high-end ones and between here like the high-end ones and this one administrator is is really this one administrator is is really this one administrator is is really difficult. So maybe that one is a B difficult. So maybe that one is a B difficult. So maybe that one is a B tier. But these are just the simple tier. But these are just the simple tier. But these are just the simple entry-level certifications. And again, entry-level certifications. And again, entry-level certifications.

Summary
The main theme is how to effectively land a DevOps job by focusing on high-leverage activities. The transcript discusses tiered activities, ranking a high school diploma, free YouTube videos, and Udemy courses as low-tier (F tier) due to their limited impact on job prospects, while emphasizing that actual job experience, even at lower pay initially, is the highest impact (S tier) factor. The practical takeaway is to prioritize gaining real-world experience over free or low-cost learning resources to accelerate your DevOps career.
