Also, what do you guys do all day? Setup new jenkins pipelines and write cloud formations stuff?
Asking because there are no Golang Backend roles on the market right now ðŸ˜

Time to pick up Java or C#
Thats not gonna answer your question but, if you wanted to stay as back end SWE, yeah

I don't mind Java, as long as it's not too enterprisy
I was hoping to avoid the language context switching since a lot of devlops roles also use Go

Hmm well maybe others have anecdotes that contradict me here, but I'm not sure how you are finding backend specific roles without going into an enterprisey org
The smaller and more flexible companies are gonna be looking for full stack

nah, enterprisey org is fine. enterprisey codebase is cancer though

Well, I'm only 5 yoe, but in my experience those two things go hand in hand lol

Notes from a call I had with Gear (a big supporter of DevOps and a DevOps chad himself)

Then what

It usually depends, generally working with Openshift clusters, building/testing/configuring operators, managing the ansible/terraform configurations for the clusters (we have a hybrid setup for them), building/maintaining our helm charts, maintaining our GCP env and keeping tabs on config connector, all while managing our grafana/prometheus instances and proofing stuff out (right now I'm building out our isito mesh). I build Gitlab pipelines sure, but I wish I could do that all day haha
I primarily use python and bash, I use go occasionally for the operator stuff
all that being said, my BIGGEST grip, like I've said before, are the interviews, they fucking blow
