Tech Industry Job Roles

DevOps in 2025: Winning Skills and Real Trends Two years ago, DevOps was a high-demand field. In 2025, it’s the backbone of every digital transformation—supercharged by cloud, automation, and now, AI. Here's what caught my attention 👇 📈 DevOps market is projected to expand from $13.2 billion in 2024 to an impressive $81.1 billion by 2028 📈 From specialized approach to mainstream strategy: Its adoption soared from 33% of companies in 2017 to an estimated 80% in 2024. Let me break down what's really happening out there and how you can ride this wave—whether you're just starting or gunning for that architect role. 📊 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀?

If you're exploring AWS careers, job titles can be confusing. What’s the difference between a Cloud, DevOps, Support, and Platform engineer? 🤔 Here’s a quick breakdown 👇 🔹 Cloud Support Engineer You troubleshoot real AWS issues, EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, Lambda. → Great for learning AWS hands-on, inside out. Often the first cloud role at AWS or partner companies. 🔹 DevOps Engineer You automate deployments, build pipelines, manage infra as code. → You bridge dev and ops - making delivery faster and safer. 🔹 CloudOps Engineer You focus on Day-2 operations: uptime, patching, scaling, monitoring. → You're the person keeping production systems healthy 24/7. 🔹 Solutions Architect You design AWS systems, making them: scalable, secure, cost-effective. → You advise teams, translate requirements, and guide best practices. 🔹 Cloud/Platform Engineer You build internal tooling, secure VPCs, SSO, reusable infra. → You enable other teams to ship apps safely on shared AWS foundations. No role is “better”, they’re just different paths. Pick the one that matches your skillset and interests, and grow from there 🌱 💬 Which one are you aiming for / already working in?

4 things I would do to become a Product Manager in tech if I had many years of experience in a specific industry like healthcare, banking, education, etc. 👇 1️⃣ Learn what Product Managers do at different companies One of the key elements of transitioning into Product Management is knowing what PMs do at different companies. The work as a startup PM differs greatly from PM at Big companies; same with B2B PM vs B2C PM... or Platform PM vs Growth PM. Understanding all these differences will help you with... - Understanding your transferrable skills - Creating a plan to work on skills you might be missing - Crafting your story to show why you are a great fit for PM My favorite 3 ways to learn all of this: - Networking: Use LinkedIn filters to find PMs who used to work at your company and transitioned into another one as PM. - YouTube: PM has become so popular that there many great videos out there that explain the basics of this role. - Courses: If free content is not for you, courses offer a great structured way to learn a topic. 2️⃣ Prepare your stories, resume, and LinkedIn profile Now that you have a good understanding of Product Management, it's time to work on your 'sales pitch': Why are you a great fit for Product Management? Your stories like 'Tell me about yourself' are a great opportunity to talk about your transferable skills and connect your past experiences to show why you are a great fit for this role. Your LinkedIn profile should include keywords about Product Management in the context of your experience. LinkedIn recruiters use keywords to find candidates. You can look at PM job descriptions to see which keywords are relevant to your experience. The most important part of your resume is that it's tailored to the job you are applying for. This means that you write accomplishments that mix skills from your experience related to the job and keywords from the description in context of your accomplishments. 3️⃣ Go for Niche roles in your industry "I want to be a PM at Microsoft" is not a great plan. "I want to be a PM at Microsoft in X products where my industry experience is relevant" is a great plan. The more targeted your search and niche where your expertise is relevant, the "easier" it'll be to become a PM. Depending on your experience, target the "tech" counterpart: - Healthcare → Health-Tech - Education → Edu-Tech - Banking → Fin-Tech 4️⃣ Don't fall for the PM Certification trap "Certifications in Product Management" do not matter in the industry. There are positives to taking PM courses: - Structured learning approach - Community of fellow aspiring PMs - Extra resources available in the course However, a certification will not make it easier to find a job or make a difference in your application if you don't work on the 3 steps above (by the time you make them, the certification won't matter). 💎 Need help with your resume and PM interviews?

Here’s what I’d do to land a Product Manager role at FAANG today. Context: In 2018, I got an internship at Salesforce, which later converted to a full-time Associate Product Manager role. Eventually, I got promoted to a Product Manager and stayed there for 2.5 years in total before quitting. Today, the job market is 10x tougher. Usual methods don’t work. So here’s what I’d do instead. ✅ Net-giving, over net-working: Rajesh Setty always tells me, “Focus on net-”giving”, not networking like everyone else.” Instead of cold DMs asking for a referral, I’d build relationships first: - “I read your blog post on [topic] and loved your take. Here’s an article/tool/resource that might be helpful.” - “I saw your team recently launched [feature]. I’d love to share the story in a post and highlight your work.” - “I know you’re hiring for X. I have a great engineer in my network—happy to connect you.” ✅ Have a killer portfolio: Let’s face it—there is no “first impressions” anymore. There are only “zeroeth impressions.” People google you and know something about you before they meet you on a call. I’d make sure the zeroeth impression someone has of me is what I want. Use sites like Super.so or Wix or Polywork to build a kickass portfolio listing your projects. ✅ Join targeted communities & newsletter: Following are great online forums: - Product School on Slack - Women In Product on Slack - Mind the Product on Slack - r/ProductManagement or r/MBA on Reddit, Inc. And, I’d subscribe to newsletters: - Lenny's Newsletter - Product Hunt’s Job Board - Breakout List for PM roles - Reforge, etc. ✅ Talk about product management: The best way I’ve learned about a topic is by writing about it. Simply publish a LinkedIn post every day sharing: - frameworks you come across - trends - case studies And end the post with a call to action: “Btw, if you’re looking to hire a PM who loves to nerd out on products all day long, I’m your girl.” The real goal isn’t just landing a job. It’s about building products I’m proud of and doing work that excites me. What strategies are you using to break into product management? Share ideas in the comments!

How I Broke into Cybersecurity: The 3 Courses That Launched My Career: When I first set out to break into cybersecurity, I had a big question: Should I take ISC2’s Certified in Cybersecurity, Google’s Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, or Cisco’s Junior Cybersecurity Pathway? My answer? Take all three. Each of these programs gave me something different — and together, they built the strong foundation I needed to launch my cybersecurity journey. Here's what I gained from each: 1. ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) This was my entry point into the industry. The CC certification isn’t just foundational — it’s also globally recognized and connects you to ISC2’s professional network. I learned core concepts like incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery while also gaining access to a community of professionals I wouldn’t have met otherwise. 2. Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate Hosted on Coursera, this 8-course program provided clear direction and helped me explore different areas of cybersecurity. The hands-on labs, portfolio-worthy assignments, and tools like SIEMs, Linux, and Python gave me practical skills that employers look for. 3. Cisco Junior Cybersecurity Analyst Pathway This was the most intense — over 120 hours of learning across 8 modules. I dove deep into networking, endpoint protection, GRC, and more. Using Cisco Packet Tracer made the technical concepts click in ways that theory alone couldn’t. Final thoughts? If you’re just starting out, don’t limit yourself to one course. Each of these certifications brought me closer to understanding the field and gave me the momentum to move forward. Thinking of getting into cybersecurity? These three might just be your launchpad too. Let me know if you’re currently exploring any of these or need help getting started! #Cybersecurity #CybersecurityCareers #ISC2 #GoogleCybersecurity #CiscoNetworkingAcademy #EntryLevelCybersecurity #TechJourney #CareerGrowth #BreakIntoCybersecurity

I used to think being a great project manager was about mastering the right framework. The right tool. The perfect Gantt chart. But I was wrong. The real shift in my career happened when I stopped managing tasks... And started leading people. Deloitte's new Human Capital Trends report confirms what many of us have felt: The PM role is being redefined. We're no longer just delivery leads. We're transformation enablers. To thrive in this new era, project managers must develop 3 core capabilities: → Coach, motivate, and grow people Because performance starts with connection, not compliance. → Lead human-AI collaboration and redesign how work gets done Because success means integrating tech without losing the human edge. → Drive adaptability, strategic thinking, and innovation Because in a world of constant change, agility is everything. But there's a fourth capability—one the report didn't name explicitly: → Translate complexity into clarity Because PMs don't just manage—we make sense of chaos. It's what turns a mess of meetings, tools, and expectations into momentum. It's how we bridge the gap between vision and execution. These aren't soft skills. They're what keep projects—and people—moving forward. Project managers aren't becoming obsolete. We're becoming essential in new, more meaningful ways. This is our moment to lead with clarity, connection, and courage. And I believe we're ready. → Repost ♺ to empower others, and follow Jesus Romero, M.Eng, PMP, CSM for project leadership tips. #LIPostingDayApril

I went through a recent DevOps job analysis report — and the hiring patterns were surprisingly clear. → Picking one cloud provider is more than enough to start ~ what truly matters is learning the underlying concepts. ↳ Once you understand IAM, networking, and infra automation at a foundational level, you can translate those skills across Azure, GCP, or any other platform without starting from scratch. Other key observations: → Jenkins still dominates enterprise CI/CD — even with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI catching up fast. → Terraform and Ansible continue to lead the Infra-as-Code space, showing up in nearly every role. → Kubernetes and Docker are still non-negotiable not just for mid to senior DevOps positions but also for entry-level engineers. → Monitoring and security tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Vault are now seen as core, not optional. → Early signs show AI/ML Ops familiarity starting to appear as a differentiator ~ still niche, but growing fast. The pattern’s clear : Don’t chase every new tool — chase understanding. Because when you truly get how things work under the hood, you’ll never be “locked” to one provider, one stack, or one trend.
