There does seem to be a bit of a shortage of DevOps people. Went for a permie interview a few months ago. Perm salary was excellent so I though why not - it was local.
Passed the initial interview - I know nothing about devops but they wanted someone to train up. Cracking I thought.
2nd interview was just a technical test and nothing else - biggest waste of half a day I've ever had. Test was purely devops stuff and building stuff. I had a vague idea but that was it so had no chance. Thing is they knew I had no devops experience so I didnt see the point.
Company struck me as a bit trendy and google-like. Seemed a fun place to work but maybe a bit too much. Certainly their recruitment ideas were a bit crap. I did point this out to the recruitment guy that having me do a devops test when I had never ever said I had any experience thereof was pretty pointless and a waster of everyones time.
I do wonder if devops is just a little bit "Emperors New Clothes" sometimes....
