Seeking advice on a potential career pivot and job change.
My Profile: I have a Master's in System Security. My experience spans: Automation: Java, Selenium. DevOps: CI/CD (Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions), scripting (Groovy, Shell), and some IaC (Terraform, Crossplane).
Key Achievement: I recently developed and successfully monetized a small SaaS application using LLMs ("vibe coding").Currently in a Compliance role at a large enterprise.
My Core Strength & Passion: I'm a fast learner, a strong problem-solver, and adept at connecting tools to deliver solutions. My real passion, however, lies in onboarding users to new solutions and helping them achieve maximum value based on their needs. I thrive on seeing others succeed with technology.
The Challenge & My Question: While proficient across my DevOps skillset, I'm not a deep expert in specific cloud platforms (e.g., in-depth AWS/GCP/Azure setup), which many specialist roles around my domain seem to require. I'm looking for guidance on how to leverage my "get-it-done" DevOps background and my passion for user enablement for my next role. What career paths or specific job titles should I explore that combine these aspects? I'm thinking of roles like Solutions Architect, Technical Account Manager, Developer Advocate, or Customer Success Engineer, but I'm open to other suggestions.
Specifically, I'd appreciate insights on: Role Fit: Which roles best align my DevOps skills with my interest in user onboarding and value realization? Positioning: How can I best frame my diverse experience (including the monetized SaaS app) for these types of roles?
Skill Development: What key skills (technical or soft) would be most beneficial to develop for such a pivot? Any advice on leveraging my current compliance background in this transition?
Thanks for any insights you can share!
