Just so people have an idea of how hard it is to find people. I've got just about 1 year of experience getting kubernetes into production at a very large (multi-billion dollar) company. I have so many job offers coming in that I'm not even talking to companies offering less than 350k total comp. I don't have a college degree and 5 years ago I was making $50k a year. That might be just the generally bubble-ish nature of the tech industry right now, but if they're throwing around that kind of money for someone like me, I imagine that small shops have no way to compete.

Any chance you'd be happy to elaborate on what your role is? Are you primarily part of a dev-ops team, or tackling Kubernetes as part of developing the product? Did you obtain CNCF certification / think there's much value in those?

devops and no certs.
