600% GROWTH?! 2024 DevOps & Kubernetes Market Analysis

hello and welcome back to my Channel hello and welcome back to my Channel today I wanted to give you a bit of an today I wanted to give you a bit of an today I wanted to give you a bit of an overview of the devops market currently overview of the devops market currently overview of the devops market currently and kubernetes Market based on some and kubernetes Market based on some and kubernetes Market based on some information I recently found and the information I recently found and the information I recently found and the point I'm trying to make in this point I'm trying to make in this point I'm trying to make in this presentation is why you should learn presentation is why you should learn presentation is why you should learn devops in kubernetes in devops in kubernetes in devops in kubernetes in 2024 and um how this can benefit you in 2024 and um how this can benefit you in 2024 and um how this can benefit you in your your your career because kubernetes and devops is career because kubernetes and devops is career because kubernetes and devops is uh booming even though there is a bad uh booming even though there is a bad uh booming even though there is a bad bad Tech Market going on so let me bad Tech Market going on so let me bad Tech Market going on so let me explain that to you by the by watching explain that to you by the by watching explain that to you by the by watching this video you will learn the current this video you will learn the current this video you will learn the current state of devops and kubernetes the state of devops and kubernetes the state of devops and kubernetes the future of that and what you should learn future of that and what you should learn future of that and what you should learn to get into that market and why you to get into that market and why you to get into that market and why you should learn devops and should learn devops and should learn devops and kubernetes and yeah just to give you a kubernetes and yeah just to give you a kubernetes and yeah just to give you a teaser devops is expected to grow six teaser devops is expected to grow six teaser devops is expected to grow six times by 20 20132 compared to today it's times by 20 20132 compared to today it's times by 20 20132 compared to today it's it's it's it's amazing so where are the jobs available amazing so where are the jobs available amazing so where are the jobs available currently so these are the these are currently so these are the these are currently so these are the these are numbers from uh Cube jobs so cube.

numbers from uh Cube jobs so cube. numbers from uh Cube jobs so cube. careers and these are these gen this is careers and these are these gen this is careers and these are these gen this is a company that creates reports about a company that creates reports about a company that creates reports about kubernetes jobs and these numbers will kubernetes jobs and these numbers will kubernetes jobs and these numbers will show you where the current kubernetes show you where the current kubernetes show you where the current kubernetes jobs are and as you see here that almost jobs are and as you see here that almost jobs are and as you see here that almost 64% of the kubernetes jobs in Q4 64% of the kubernetes jobs in Q4 64% of the kubernetes jobs in Q4 2023 where in North America and then 2023 where in North America and then 2023 where in North America and then coming in second is Europe with 33% of coming in second is Europe with 33% of coming in second is Europe with 33% of the jobs now what's interesting here is the jobs now what's interesting here is the jobs now what's interesting here is that in that in that in 2022 you can see that Europe had much 2022 you can see that Europe had much 2022 you can see that Europe had much more um kubernetes jobs available than more um kubernetes jobs available than more um kubernetes jobs available than North America and then North America North America and then North America North America and then North America just doubled almost in the number of just doubled almost in the number of just doubled almost in the number of available available available jobs in fact it it it did double because jobs in fact it it it did double because jobs in fact it it it did double because it had went from 29% to 6 it had went from 29% to 6 it had went from 29% to 6 4% so from 20 Q4 2022 to Q4 4% so from 20 Q4 2022 to Q4 4% so from 20 Q4 2022 to Q4 2023 you can see there is a a double 2023 you can see there is a a double 2023 you can see there is a a double demand in kubernetes jobs in North demand in kubernetes jobs in North demand in kubernetes jobs in North America so that is definitely something America so that is definitely something America so that is definitely something to to to to to to register and what is also interesting register and what is also interesting register and what is also interesting here is that uh like everybody wants a here is that uh like everybody wants a here is that uh like everybody wants a remote only job right that's the dream remote only job right that's the dream remote only job right that's the dream but if you in the bottom left corner you but if you in the bottom left corner you but if you in the bottom left corner you will see that less than 1% of the jobs will see that less than 1% of the jobs will see that less than 1% of the jobs are remote only so if that's what you are remote only so if that's what you are remote only so if that's what you are what your what your ambition is and are what your what your ambition is and are what your what your ambition is and you will only do a remote only job then

you will only do a remote only job then you will only do a remote only job then you are going to be in a tough you are going to be in a tough you are going to be in a tough Market taking a look at the salaries in Market taking a look at the salaries in Market taking a look at the salaries in North America the average salary in North America the average salary in North America the average salary in North America was North America was North America was 132k and we also see from these numbers 132k and we also see from these numbers 132k and we also see from these numbers that this uh average salary of that this uh average salary of that this uh average salary of kubernetes jobs increased by 9% % kubernetes jobs increased by 9% % kubernetes jobs increased by 9% % compared to compared to compared to 2022 so the average inflation is 5% so 2022 so the average inflation is 5% so 2022 so the average inflation is 5% so the the average is um Rising above the the the average is um Rising above the the the average is um Rising above the the inflation so that's a really really the inflation so that's a really really the inflation so that's a really really good sign and as we are we keep hearing good sign and as we are we keep hearing good sign and as we are we keep hearing that the tech Market is um is brutal that the tech Market is um is brutal that the tech Market is um is brutal right now still the salaries are right now still the salaries are right now still the salaries are increasing increasing increasing so salaries in Europe uh the average so salaries in Europe uh the average so salaries in Europe uh the average salary in Europe was 85 K the maximum salary in Europe was 85 K the maximum salary in Europe was 85 K the maximum average salary offered was average salary offered was average salary offered was 85k there was even a record salary of 85k there was even a record salary of 85k there was even a record salary of 200k and uh keep in mind that these are 200k and uh keep in mind that these are 200k and uh keep in mind that these are in euros and these are also Europe is in euros and these are also Europe is in euros and these are also Europe is quite a diverse uh collection of quite a diverse uh collection of quite a diverse uh collection of countries so what is 50k in one country countries so what is 50k in one country countries so what is 50k in one country might be very different from what is 50k might be very different from what is 50k might be very different from what is 50k in another country so definitely keep in another country so definitely keep in another country so definitely keep that in mind that in mind that in mind but um I know from experience that um but um I know from experience that um but um I know from experience that um having kubernetes knowledge devops having kubernetes knowledge devops having kubernetes knowledge devops experience will get you a very experience will get you a very experience will get you a very comfortable Sal salary in Europe

comfortable Sal salary in Europe comfortable Sal salary in Europe basically wherever you basically wherever you basically wherever you are and the nature of the these jobs uh are and the nature of the these jobs uh are and the nature of the these jobs uh interestingly is that 86% has no on call interestingly is that 86% has no on call interestingly is that 86% has no on call duty so thankfully these they don't ask duty so thankfully these they don't ask duty so thankfully these they don't ask for on Call Duty so that means that you for on Call Duty so that means that you for on Call Duty so that means that you have to be on call standby in your free have to be on call standby in your free have to be on call standby in your free time to solve incidents well 86% of the time to solve incidents well 86% of the time to solve incidents well 86% of the jobs don't require that and again these jobs don't require that and again these jobs don't require that and again these reports are generated based upon job reports are generated based upon job reports are generated based upon job postings right so these are the actual postings right so these are the actual postings right so these are the actual requirements that they ask going into preferred experience well ask going into preferred experience well not surprisingly there's only demand for not surprisingly there's only demand for not surprisingly there's only demand for senior Engineers hiring hiring managers senior Engineers hiring hiring managers senior Engineers hiring hiring managers they will only want seniors and this is they will only want seniors and this is they will only want seniors and this is just a broken broken system right they just a broken broken system right they just a broken broken system right they only want seniors maybe some only want seniors maybe some only want seniors maybe some midlevel and but the thing is that what midlevel and but the thing is that what midlevel and but the thing is that what companies want is that they want people companies want is that they want people companies want is that they want people that know what they're doing and nothing that know what they're doing and nothing that know what they're doing and nothing else and this problem will exponentially else and this problem will exponentially else and this problem will exponentially increase as the starters are not being increase as the starters are not being increase as the starters are not being offered at chances so the seniors will offered at chances so the seniors will offered at chances so the seniors will dominate the dominate the dominate the market and this is a a big problem but market and this is a a big problem but market and this is a a big problem but like seniors is not being a senior is like seniors is not being a senior is like seniors is not being a senior is not only a a tech thing right being a not only a a tech thing right being a not only a a tech thing right being a senior also means that you're able to senior also means that you're able to senior also means that you're able to communicate well with others and to be communicate well with others and to be communicate well with others and to be able to take a junior under your wing

able to take a junior under your wing able to take a junior under your wing that kind of thing and um this is a a that kind of thing and um this is a a that kind of thing and um this is a a problem in the market but I I'm going to problem in the market but I I'm going to problem in the market but I I'm going to offer some Reflections on that later in offer some Reflections on that later in offer some Reflections on that later in the presentation to address this as the presentation to address this as the presentation to address this as well certifications rarely matter based well certifications rarely matter based well certifications rarely matter based on the job postings at least 90% of them on the job postings at least 90% of them on the job postings at least 90% of them don't require require uh certification don't require require uh certification don't require require uh certification uh they can however be super useful in uh they can however be super useful in uh they can however be super useful in making you stand out of the crowd the making you stand out of the crowd the making you stand out of the crowd the companies care more about experience and companies care more about experience and companies care more about experience and knowledge uh they want you to prove that knowledge uh they want you to prove that knowledge uh they want you to prove that you can do what they want and that can you can do what they want and that can you can do what they want and that can be like with new tooling like kubernetes be like with new tooling like kubernetes be like with new tooling like kubernetes it can be even in your own for your own it can be even in your own for your own it can be even in your own for your own experience right if you have a big home experience right if you have a big home experience right if you have a big home lab running at home well I I would know lab running at home well I I would know lab running at home well I I would know who who I would hire if I would have who who I would hire if I would have who who I would hire if I would have someone who doesn't have any practical someone who doesn't have any practical someone who doesn't have any practical experience but has a certification experience but has a certification experience but has a certification compared to someone who is running 10 compared to someone who is running 10 compared to someone who is running 10 nodes in his closet and is hosting 10 nodes in his closet and is hosting 10 nodes in his closet and is hosting 10 public applications well you decide for public applications well you decide for public applications well you decide for yourself but one reflection I have here yourself but one reflection I have here yourself but one reflection I have here is that I I quite like getting is that I I quite like getting is that I I quite like getting certifications because um it gives you a certifications because um it gives you a certifications because um it gives you a nice path and goal to work towards and nice path and goal to work towards and nice path and goal to work towards and they have definitely served me very well they have definitely served me very well they have definitely served me very well in my job hunting so it is uh certainly in my job hunting so it is uh certainly in my job hunting so it is uh certainly something that I would highly recommend something that I would highly recommend something that I would highly recommend you do even though the the job postings

you do even though the the job postings you do even though the the job postings don't specifically ask for them don't specifically ask for them don't specifically ask for them currently they will help you a lot also currently they will help you a lot also currently they will help you a lot also in your in your in your learning Tech you should learn so again learning Tech you should learn so again learning Tech you should learn so again this is based on the job postings and uh this is based on the job postings and uh this is based on the job postings and uh not surprising ly 60% require you to not surprising ly 60% require you to not surprising ly 60% require you to know Docker and um that is of course know Docker and um that is of course know Docker and um that is of course Very obvious when you are a devops Very obvious when you are a devops Very obvious when you are a devops engineer but also kubernetes um like as engineer but also kubernetes um like as engineer but also kubernetes um like as a devops engineer you might be joining a a devops engineer you might be joining a a devops engineer you might be joining a team of developers and then the team of developers and then the team of developers and then the developers do the the software developers do the the software developers do the the software engineering but then they need someone engineering but then they need someone engineering but then they need someone to containerize that application right to containerize that application right to containerize that application right so that's why you are required to know so that's why you are required to know so that's why you are required to know Docker but also s because Docker has Docker but also s because Docker has Docker but also s because Docker has been around for 2000 since been around for 2000 since been around for 2000 since 2013 this is also becoming quite of a 2013 this is also becoming quite of a 2013 this is also becoming quite of a buzz word right so like any even buzz word right so like any even buzz word right so like any even software engineering jobs will also have software engineering jobs will also have software engineering jobs will also have this on their requirements I suppose this on their requirements I suppose this on their requirements I suppose so um definitely something to have on so um definitely something to have on so um definitely something to have on your CV of course uh 22% require your CV of course uh 22% require your CV of course uh 22% require postgress so that's really postgress so that's really postgress so that's really like that's interesting and not like that's interesting and not like that's interesting and not surprising either but you definitely surprising either but you definitely surprising either but you definitely need to learn learn to work with need to learn learn to work with need to learn learn to work with databases how to provision them how to databases how to provision them how to databases how to provision them how to manage them backing them up dumping them manage them backing them up dumping them manage them backing them up dumping them um that is definitely something a skill um that is definitely something a skill um that is definitely something a skill that will um yeah that people you will that will um yeah that people you will that will um yeah that people you will be asked about and if you have some

be asked about and if you have some be asked about and if you have some demonstrated experience with that then demonstrated experience with that then demonstrated experience with that then this is going to take many of the boxes this is going to take many of the boxes this is going to take many of the boxes that they ask for and also even in that they ask for and also even in that they ask for and also even in kubernetes jobs like not surprisingly kubernetes jobs like not surprisingly kubernetes jobs like not surprisingly many workloads on kubernetes are many workloads on kubernetes are many workloads on kubernetes are actually databases so there is this actually databases so there is this actually databases so there is this misconception out there that clusters misconception out there that clusters misconception out there that clusters are stateless and then that therefore are stateless and then that therefore are stateless and then that therefore you can't run databases on kubernetes you can't run databases on kubernetes you can't run databases on kubernetes well like in fact I've read some studies well like in fact I've read some studies well like in fact I've read some studies that most of the the majority of the that most of the the majority of the that most of the the majority of the workloads in kubernetes currently are workloads in kubernetes currently are workloads in kubernetes currently are postgress are are databases so that is postgress are are databases so that is postgress are are databases so that is definitely something you need to learn definitely something you need to learn definitely something you need to learn and um the Enterprise DB operator for and um the Enterprise DB operator for and um the Enterprise DB operator for sample is going to be a super useful sample is going to be a super useful sample is going to be a super useful skill to have on your skill to have on your skill to have on your CV finally 90% require Kafka so that's CV finally 90% require Kafka so that's CV finally 90% require Kafka so that's uh Event Event streaming and message uh Event Event streaming and message uh Event Event streaming and message queuing and such like also related to uh queuing and such like also related to uh queuing and such like also related to uh rabbit mq that you see here so having a rabbit mq that you see here so having a rabbit mq that you see here so having a understanding of event streaming of understanding of event streaming of understanding of event streaming of message cues and of um yeah microservice message cues and of um yeah microservice message cues and of um yeah microservice architectures as a whole uh is going to architectures as a whole uh is going to architectures as a whole uh is going to be very very um it will contribute to be very very um it will contribute to be very very um it will contribute to your ability to find a job in the your ability to find a job in the your ability to find a job in the current current current market moving on to programming market moving on to programming market moving on to programming languages 53% ask for python 31% ask for languages 53% ask for python 31% ask for languages 53% ask for python 31% ask for Java well I don't recommend uh as a

Java well I don't recommend uh as a Java well I don't recommend uh as a junior you to learn Java uh it is still junior you to learn Java uh it is still junior you to learn Java uh it is still being asked for so that the Juniors or being asked for so that the Juniors or being asked for so that the Juniors or the seniors definitely have a um step the seniors definitely have a um step the seniors definitely have a um step ahead of the curve here if you know Java ahead of the curve here if you know Java ahead of the curve here if you know Java and 29% ask for go interestingly uh in and 29% ask for go interestingly uh in and 29% ask for go interestingly uh in the Netherlands here I don't see that as the Netherlands here I don't see that as the Netherlands here I don't see that as much but I think that is more popular in much but I think that is more popular in much but I think that is more popular in the in the the in the the in the US uh and 27% ask for US uh and 27% ask for US uh and 27% ask for JavaScript and what I think since this JavaScript and what I think since this JavaScript and what I think since this is based on the the mentions in job is based on the the mentions in job is based on the the mentions in job postings is that they're actually asking postings is that they're actually asking postings is that they're actually asking for a full stack developer here so that for a full stack developer here so that for a full stack developer here so that you are expected to be a front end you are expected to be a front end you are expected to be a front end developer who also knows how to developer who also knows how to developer who also knows how to containerize application and then deploy containerize application and then deploy containerize application and then deploy it to to it to to it to to kubernetes um but the thing to gather kubernetes um but the thing to gather kubernetes um but the thing to gather from this is that from this is that from this is that python well you if you're watching this python well you if you're watching this python well you if you're watching this video you already probably know python video you already probably know python video you already probably know python but it is definitely definitely want to but it is definitely definitely want to but it is definitely definitely want to have on the CV mention it on the CV and have on the CV mention it on the CV and have on the CV mention it on the CV and to have some demonstrated experience to have some demonstrated experience to have some demonstrated experience with it and uh go as well so most of the with it and uh go as well so most of the with it and uh go as well so most of the cloud native tooling is written in go so cloud native tooling is written in go so cloud native tooling is written in go so having an understanding of it is great having an understanding of it is great having an understanding of it is great uh is going to be very useful I hope to uh is going to be very useful I hope to uh is going to be very useful I hope to transition into a role where I'll be transition into a role where I'll be transition into a role where I'll be working more with go myself but the working more with go myself but the working more with go myself but the thing is the main thing as a devops thing is the main thing as a devops thing is the main thing as a devops engineer um you're not a software engineer um you're not a software engineer um you're not a software engineer right you're not building very engineer right you're not building very engineer right you're not building very complex software but you're building complex software but you're building complex software but you're building tooling around the software and tooling around the software and tooling around the software and connecting things and what they

connecting things and what they connecting things and what they basically want in like what what a what basically want in like what what a what basically want in like what what a what a job posting wants is that you can a job posting wants is that you can a job posting wants is that you can prove that you are able to write code prove that you are able to write code prove that you are able to write code that you are have an affinity for code that you are have an affinity for code that you are have an affinity for code and That's essential for devops cicd pipelines well that's like devops cicd pipelines well that's like the bread and butter of the devops the bread and butter of the devops the bread and butter of the devops engineers right um interestingly gitlab engineers right um interestingly gitlab engineers right um interestingly gitlab and Jenkins are now sort of buying for and Jenkins are now sort of buying for and Jenkins are now sort of buying for the first position gitlab also the first position gitlab also the first position gitlab also definitely is taking a lead though uh definitely is taking a lead though uh definitely is taking a lead though uh Jenkins yeah would I suggest learning Jenkins yeah would I suggest learning Jenkins yeah would I suggest learning Jenkins if you're just starting out I Jenkins if you're just starting out I Jenkins if you're just starting out I don't know I like you'll have to know don't know I like you'll have to know don't know I like you'll have to know what it is but I think this is also more what it is but I think this is also more what it is but I think this is also more uh on Prem uh related job uh on Prem uh related job uh on Prem uh related job postings if you're working in the cloud postings if you're working in the cloud postings if you're working in the cloud gitlab of course is an option but I gitlab of course is an option but I gitlab of course is an option but I think like if you're in Azure then it's think like if you're in Azure then it's think like if you're in Azure then it's going to be much much more likely that going to be much much more likely that going to be much much more likely that you're going to be working with Azure you're going to be working with Azure you're going to be working with Azure devops pipelines or GitHub actions and I devops pipelines or GitHub actions and I devops pipelines or GitHub actions and I think you can almost add those together think you can almost add those together think you can almost add those together there are they are in here but uh I I there are they are in here but uh I I there are they are in here but uh I I think they're going to be merg in the think they're going to be merg in the think they're going to be merg in the future and so take these with a bit of a future and so take these with a bit of a future and so take these with a bit of a grain of salt and well Jenkins obviously grain of salt and well Jenkins obviously grain of salt and well Jenkins obviously is important based on the job postings is important based on the job postings is important based on the job postings but not all job postings actually but not all job postings actually but not all job postings actually understand what is going on in the understand what is going on in the understand what is going on in the company right so you might not they company right so you might not they company right so you might not they might ask for Jenkins but they might might ask for Jenkins but they might might ask for Jenkins but they might have moved on to something else have moved on to something else have moved on to something else already so especially if you're moving

already so especially if you're moving already so especially if you're moving towards a cloud focused career maybe towards a cloud focused career maybe towards a cloud focused career maybe Jenkins is not the best option giops tools giops tools um giops is like I'm surprised they um giops is like I'm surprised they um giops is like I'm surprised they would even um mention it on the job would even um mention it on the job would even um mention it on the job postings because I I don't think many postings because I I don't think many postings because I I don't think many hiring managers even understand what hiring managers even understand what hiring managers even understand what that is but when they post it then Argo that is but when they post it then Argo that is but when they post it then Argo CD is definitely taking the lead here CD is definitely taking the lead here CD is definitely taking the lead here flux is also mentioned but the main flux is also mentioned but the main flux is also mentioned but the main thing is that you understand gups right thing is that you understand gups right thing is that you understand gups right that you that you're able to work with that you that you're able to work with that you that you're able to work with it and then Argo CD is definitely one to it and then Argo CD is definitely one to it and then Argo CD is definitely one to have on on the have on on the have on on the CV because it's also about keywords CV because it's also about keywords CV because it's also about keywords right having the right keywords with all right having the right keywords with all right having the right keywords with all of the automated scanning so I I really of the automated scanning so I I really of the automated scanning so I I really like flux but I will always put Argo CD like flux but I will always put Argo CD like flux but I will always put Argo CD on my CV not I I have experience with it on my CV not I I have experience with it on my CV not I I have experience with it of course but just to get the the of course but just to get the the of course but just to get the the buzzwords I would definitely always buzzwords I would definitely always buzzwords I would definitely always include include include that not surprisingly terraform takes that not surprisingly terraform takes that not surprisingly terraform takes the lead in configuration management the lead in configuration management the lead in configuration management tools and then anible Al uh being a tools and then anible Al uh being a tools and then anible Al uh being a runner up so again I think anible is runner up so again I think anible is runner up so again I think anible is definitely for more of the on Prem um on definitely for more of the on Prem um on definitely for more of the on Prem um on Prem jobs where people were where Prem jobs where people were where Prem jobs where people were where they're running the on Prem kubernetes they're running the on Prem kubernetes they're running the on Prem kubernetes clusters when you're in the cloud you're clusters when you're in the cloud you're clusters when you're in the cloud you're almost always going to be using almost always going to be using almost always going to be using terraform if you're not in Azure um like terraform if you're not in Azure um like terraform if you're not in Azure um like interestingly like I am an Azure focused interestingly like I am an Azure focused interestingly like I am an Azure focused guy and now they have arm templates at

guy and now they have arm templates at guy and now they have arm templates at the bottom here but bicep is not in here the bottom here but bicep is not in here the bottom here but bicep is not in here interestingly so I'm not I'm wondering interestingly so I'm not I'm wondering interestingly so I'm not I'm wondering if they did didn't scan for that that if they did didn't scan for that that if they did didn't scan for that that they didn't include that in the in the they didn't include that in the in the they didn't include that in the in the analysis but I'm surprised not to see analysis but I'm surprised not to see analysis but I'm surprised not to see any Azure stuff here because Azure is any Azure stuff here because Azure is any Azure stuff here because Azure is definitely on the rise and um but on definitely on the rise and um but on definitely on the rise and um but on Azure you are using terraform as well so Azure you are using terraform as well so Azure you are using terraform as well so that I think a lot of the Azure work is that I think a lot of the Azure work is that I think a lot of the Azure work is also included with terraform but if also included with terraform but if also included with terraform but if you're devops engineer or kubernetes you're devops engineer or kubernetes you're devops engineer or kubernetes engineer or aspiring to become one yeah engineer or aspiring to become one yeah engineer or aspiring to become one yeah terraform needs to be in your skill set observability tools Prometheus and observability tools Prometheus and grafana taking the lead yes and I'm glad grafana taking the lead yes and I'm glad grafana taking the lead yes and I'm glad to see that and I'm not surprised by to see that and I'm not surprised by to see that and I'm not surprised by that either because it is basically the that either because it is basically the that either because it is basically the the gold standard and then data dog the gold standard and then data dog the gold standard and then data dog being the runner being the runner being the runner up up up and like there is a lot of talk about and like there is a lot of talk about and like there is a lot of talk about the for on the forums and on on YouTube the for on the forums and on on YouTube the for on the forums and on on YouTube about the the tech Market um being a about the the tech Market um being a about the the tech Market um being a disaster right now and disaster right now and disaster right now and I like there is definitely truth in that I like there is definitely truth in that I like there is definitely truth in that but the thing is that very often the but the thing is that very often the but the thing is that very often the term Tech Market uh actually is being term Tech Market uh actually is being term Tech Market uh actually is being used as the software engineering market used as the software engineering market used as the software engineering market so let's uh take a look at this video so let's uh take a look at this video so let's uh take a look at this video that Theo made the other day question harder to get just looking day question harder to get just looking at the numbers it becomes apparent you at the numbers it becomes apparent you at the numbers it becomes apparent you guys haven't seen layoffs.fyi

guys haven't seen layoffs.fyi guys haven't seen layoffs.fyi horrifying just in 2024 we've had 41 horrifying just in 2024 we've had 41 horrifying just in 2024 we've had 41 1,793 Tech employees laid off 160 tech 1,793 Tech employees laid off 160 tech 1,793 Tech employees laid off 160 tech companies in just this year last year companies in just this year last year companies in just this year last year almost 12200 tech companies and almost almost 12200 tech companies and almost almost 12200 tech companies and almost 270,000 employees were laid off so for 270,000 employees were laid off so for 270,000 employees were laid off so for reference so you guys can understand how reference so you guys can understand how reference so you guys can understand how big those numbers are relatively big those numbers are relatively big those numbers are relatively speaking about 130,000 people get CS speaking about 130,000 people get CS speaking about 130,000 people get CS degrees in the US every year it used to degrees in the US every year it used to degrees in the US every year it used to be 60,000 back in 2015 but we're up to be 60,000 back in 2015 but we're up to be 60,000 back in 2015 but we're up to 130,000 people in the US getting a 130,000 people in the US getting a 130,000 people in the US getting a degree in CS every year which means that degree in CS every year which means that degree in CS every year which means that twice as many people were laid off twice as many people were laid off twice as many people were laid off almost three times as many people were almost three times as many people were almost three times as many people were laid off as got CS degrees last year but laid off as got CS degrees last year but laid off as got CS degrees last year but those aren't numbers that compete those those aren't numbers that compete those those aren't numbers that compete those are additive those get combined we went are additive those get combined we went are additive those get combined we went from the usual 130,000 new devs which from the usual 130,000 new devs which from the usual 130,000 new devs which means we need 130,000 new roles minus means we need 130,000 new roles minus means we need 130,000 new roles minus the number of people who have exited the the number of people who have exited the the number of people who have exited the industry the numbers are just there industry the numbers are just there industry the numbers are just there by themselves like are we actually by themselves like are we actually by themselves like are we actually producing 130,000 new roles to fill all producing 130,000 new roles to fill all producing 130,000 new roles to fill all these people into jobs and do we have these people into jobs and do we have these people into jobs and do we have enough senior roles for the people who enough senior roles for the people who enough senior roles for the people who are moving out of those positions and are moving out of those positions and are moving out of those positions and growing up to so in that's that like growing up to so in that's that like growing up to so in that's that like this is where it is um what I was trying this is where it is um what I was trying this is where it is um what I was trying to say that the tech Market is being to say that the tech Market is being to say that the tech Market is being synonymous with software engineering synonymous with software engineering synonymous with software engineering right and yes this is definitely a big right and yes this is definitely a big right and yes this is definitely a big problem we are like there are big Tech problem we are like there are big Tech problem we are like there are big Tech layoffs but then again what are Tech layoffs but then again what are Tech layoffs but then again what are Tech layoffs right are those the devops layoffs right are those the devops layoffs right are those the devops engineers being fired are those software engineers being fired are those software engineers being fired are those software Engineers so we have to be a little bit Engineers so we have to be a little bit Engineers so we have to be a little bit careful with these terms and making sure careful with these terms and making sure careful with these terms and making sure that the tech Market is not being used

that the tech Market is not being used that the tech Market is not being used as one umbrella term but he goes into as one umbrella term but he goes into as one umbrella term but he goes into some interesting things here later in some interesting things here later in some interesting things here later in the video something to happen and the video something to happen and the video something to happen and there's a ton of reasons for this I have there's a ton of reasons for this I have there's a ton of reasons for this I have talked about this a lot in my reality of talked about this a lot in my reality of talked about this a lot in my reality of tech jobs video on my main Channel if tech jobs video on my main Channel if tech jobs video on my main Channel if you want to check that out I'll be sure you want to check that out I'll be sure you want to check that out I'll be sure it's linked in the description the core it's linked in the description the core it's linked in the description the core two pieces here are that most roles are two pieces here are that most roles are two pieces here are that most roles are getting filled before they even go getting filled before they even go getting filled before they even go public and if they do go public they're public and if they do go public they're public and if they do go public they're going to get spammed to the point where going to get spammed to the point where going to get spammed to the point where they don't actually look at anything they don't actually look at anything they don't actually look at anything like the poor unkey guys which I love like the poor unkey guys which I love like the poor unkey guys which I love unkey they have a thousand followers on unkey they have a thousand followers on unkey they have a thousand followers on Twitter they're small so what he says is Twitter they're small so what he says is Twitter they're small so what he says is that like job engineer um job postings that like job engineer um job postings that like job engineer um job postings like many jobs are filled already before like many jobs are filled already before like many jobs are filled already before the posting gets out there right and he the posting gets out there right and he the posting gets out there right and he goes on to tell a story how this company goes on to tell a story how this company goes on to tell a story how this company they posted a job and then like over a they posted a job and then like over a they posted a job and then like over a thousand people reacted and then he goes thousand people reacted and then he goes thousand people reacted and then he goes later into um how it's important that later into um how it's important that later into um how it's important that you like just taking getting a degree you like just taking getting a degree you like just taking getting a degree and then searching for jobs that's not and then searching for jobs that's not and then searching for jobs that's not going to cut it anymore like you need to going to cut it anymore like you need to going to cut it anymore like you need to know the people you need to know you know the people you need to know you know the people you need to know you need to be um connected with people need to be um connected with people need to be um connected with people people and you need to like when those people and you need to like when those people and you need to like when those people need need somebody they're going people need need somebody they're going people need need somebody they're going to think of you instead of um putting to think of you instead of um putting to think of you instead of um putting out a job application out a job application out a job application so continue with that like the the so continue with that like the the so continue with that like the the conclusion of that is that software conclusion of that is that software conclusion of that is that software engineering by itself is probably not engineering by itself is probably not engineering by itself is probably not going to cut it anymore right you're going to cut it anymore right you're going to cut it anymore right you're you're going to be competing very hard you're going to be competing very hard you're going to be competing very hard in that market and one way to stand out

in that market and one way to stand out in that market and one way to stand out is to focus on this Dev kubernetes is to focus on this Dev kubernetes is to focus on this Dev kubernetes Market that we are uh doing uh talking Market that we are uh doing uh talking Market that we are uh doing uh talking about in this about in this about in this presentation because if you see here presentation because if you see here presentation because if you see here second from the B second from the B second from the B bottom the 2032 value projection of the bottom the 2032 value projection of the bottom the 2032 value projection of the devops market is 70 billion US compared devops market is 70 billion US compared devops market is 70 billion US compared to 8 billion in to 8 billion in to 8 billion in 2022 this is huge it's it's going to 2022 this is huge it's it's going to 2022 this is huge it's it's going to explode and that is has to do with the explode and that is has to do with the explode and that is has to do with the fact that yes we are still there is a fact that yes we are still there is a fact that yes we are still there is a need for developing new software and need for developing new software and need for developing new software and that is constantly being done but this that is constantly being done but this that is constantly being done but this software also needs to be deployed it software also needs to be deployed it software also needs to be deployed it needs to be tested it needs to be run needs to be tested it needs to be run needs to be tested it needs to be run and maintained and that is where the and maintained and that is where the and maintained and that is where the growth is in the in the future it growth is in the in the future it growth is in the in the future it seems seems seems and the growth is there in kubernetes and the growth is there in kubernetes and the growth is there in kubernetes there's just no doubt about it the there's just no doubt about it the there's just no doubt about it the market size was valued at 1.46 billion market size was valued at 1.46 billion market size was valued at 1.46 billion in in in 2021 and pois to grow until uh to 2021 and pois to grow until uh to 2021 and pois to grow until uh to 9.69 billion by 9.69 billion by 9.69 billion by 2030 and it's the fastest growing 2030 and it's the fastest growing 2030 and it's the fastest growing project in the open source software project in the open source software project in the open source software after Linux and it's it's not a surprise after Linux and it's it's not a surprise after Linux and it's it's not a surprise right because kubernetes is just it is right because kubernetes is just it is right because kubernetes is just it is the operating system of the cloud it is the operating system of the cloud it is the operating system of the cloud it is the future it is the the the future way the future it is the the the future way the future it is the the the future way of deploying software and um the old of deploying software and um the old of deploying software and um the old stuff

stuff stuff Jenkins yeah they still ask for it but Jenkins yeah they still ask for it but Jenkins yeah they still ask for it but if you're not learning kubernetes now if you're not learning kubernetes now if you're not learning kubernetes now you are going to be out of a job you are going to be out of a job you are going to be out of a job in five 10 years I in five 10 years I in five 10 years I think because that's the thing the think because that's the thing the think because that's the thing the senior Engineers will dominate the senior Engineers will dominate the senior Engineers will dominate the market like if you're already in devops market like if you're already in devops market like if you're already in devops and kubernetes congratulations your and kubernetes congratulations your and kubernetes congratulations your future looks bright but if you're future looks bright but if you're future looks bright but if you're considering a transition to devops in considering a transition to devops in considering a transition to devops in kubernetes or if you are a junior uh kubernetes or if you are a junior uh kubernetes or if you are a junior uh looking to become a senior or if you're looking to become a senior or if you're looking to become a senior or if you're a senior looking to become an expert a senior looking to become an expert a senior looking to become an expert it's not too late right this is the it's not too late right this is the it's not too late right this is the moment to start learning these moment to start learning these moment to start learning these Technologies um you will if you know Technologies um you will if you know Technologies um you will if you know what you are doing if you get the what you are doing if you get the what you are doing if you get the experience then you are then you're experience then you are then you're experience then you are then you're going to stand out here and the same going to stand out here and the same going to stand out here and the same goes for software Engineers if you are goes for software Engineers if you are goes for software Engineers if you are laid off as a software engineer your way laid off as a software engineer your way laid off as a software engineer your way in is to learn devops in kubernetes if in is to learn devops in kubernetes if in is to learn devops in kubernetes if you are a fresh CS graduate your way to you are a fresh CS graduate your way to you are a fresh CS graduate your way to stand out is uh devops and kubernetes stand out is uh devops and kubernetes stand out is uh devops and kubernetes and I want to help you with and I want to help you with and I want to help you with this because the like like we saw the this because the like like we saw the this because the like like we saw the tech Market there are layoffs they they tech Market there are layoffs they they tech Market there are layoffs they they it's brutal out there being a freshly it's brutal out there being a freshly it's brutal out there being a freshly educated software engineer is is really educated software engineer is is really educated software engineer is is really really hard to get a job apparently and really hard to get a job apparently and really hard to get a job apparently and um Theo goes into detail about this in um Theo goes into detail about this in um Theo goes into detail about this in that video which I will link Out Below that video which I will link Out Below that video which I will link Out Below but the way for you to stand out of the but the way for you to stand out of the but the way for you to stand out of the crowd is to um get your soft skills in

crowd is to um get your soft skills in crowd is to um get your soft skills in order and to brush up on your kubernetes order and to brush up on your kubernetes order and to brush up on your kubernetes and um devop skills and what I suggest and um devop skills and what I suggest and um devop skills and what I suggest you you do is to join my school you you do is to join my school you you do is to join my school Community where I have a growing Community where I have a growing Community where I have a growing portfolio of courses um I've now portfolio of courses um I've now portfolio of courses um I've now released the first three hours of my released the first three hours of my released the first three hours of my kubernetes fundamentals course and this kubernetes fundamentals course and this kubernetes fundamentals course and this is just going to be a master class of is just going to be a master class of is just going to be a master class of over 10 hours long where I take you over 10 hours long where I take you over 10 hours long where I take you through the entire process of setting up through the entire process of setting up through the entire process of setting up a cluster and deploying your first a cluster and deploying your first a cluster and deploying your first applications on them and it's not only applications on them and it's not only applications on them and it's not only the courses that I create but we are all the courses that I create but we are all the courses that I create but we are all already over a 100 people there many already over a 100 people there many already over a 100 people there many many seniors as well and there it's a many seniors as well and there it's a many seniors as well and there it's a platform to host the courses but also to platform to host the courses but also to platform to host the courses but also to gather the people to interact with each gather the people to interact with each gather the people to interact with each other uh you will have a place where you other uh you will have a place where you other uh you will have a place where you can ask questions and where you can get can ask questions and where you can get can ask questions and where you can get advice if you get stuck get career advice if you get stuck get career advice if you get stuck get career advice you can get direct access to me advice you can get direct access to me advice you can get direct access to me with three weekly Q&A Q&A calls it's with three weekly Q&A Q&A calls it's with three weekly Q&A Q&A calls it's just a very thriving community of just a very thriving community of just a very thriving community of Learners that we're building and the the Learners that we're building and the the Learners that we're building and the the reviews are speaking for themselves reviews are speaking for themselves reviews are speaking for themselves people are super satisfied with it and people are super satisfied with it and people are super satisfied with it and we are actually providing value here we are actually providing value here we are actually providing value here so rounding off the conclusions are so rounding off the conclusions are so rounding off the conclusions are devops kubernetes is booming it has devops kubernetes is booming it has devops kubernetes is booming it has doubled in North America as we saw in uh doubled in North America as we saw in uh doubled in North America as we saw in uh this graph the the demand for the jobs this graph the the demand for the jobs this graph the the demand for the jobs in North America is booming if you're in North America is booming if you're in North America is booming if you're looking to stand out uh of the crowd

looking to stand out uh of the crowd looking to stand out uh of the crowd then kubernetes and devops is the thing then kubernetes and devops is the thing then kubernetes and devops is the thing to learn and not only that but also to to learn and not only that but also to to learn and not only that but also to connect with other peoples and to connect with other peoples and to connect with other peoples and to cultivate your online presence and all cultivate your online presence and all cultivate your online presence and all of that you're going to learn in the of that you're going to learn in the of that you're going to learn in the school community so I hope to see you school community so I hope to see you school community so I hope to see you there thank you so much for watching and there thank you so much for watching and there thank you so much for watching and have a great have a great have a great day
