I’m based in the UK and on an apprenticeship programme at work. After completing a general IT technician course at level 3 I’m moving onto a level 4 course. It looks like my choices are going to be devops or network engineering. I know a little about networks but I know nothing about devops. My question is, which is likely to give me more career opportunities?

    Sysadmin and network roles are saturated. You only need a couple for a few hundred employees and colleges are pumping out dozens a semester each.

    So unless you’re interested in certification hell and rock a stellar GPA. I’d suggest DevOps of the two choices.

    Database and legacy code roles are in demand though.
