How did I become a DevOps Engineer with no experience | 2022 | Here's how you can do it!

[Music] hi everyone i'm mikha and this is my first tech video i'm very excited to share my journey about how i became a devops engineer without any prior experience in id field in this video i'll be sharing details about my background how i changed my career path and what were the resources that helped me in giving me a particular direction so let's begin with my background so i have done ece electronics and communication engineering and i have done it in daman it's a small union territory and there is very little scope for id companies it's basically for the manufacturing companies like electronics companies and pharmaceutical companies so i started my uh first job as a testing engineer in one of this electronics uh manufacturing company and these companies used to manufacture led products that we see around in our home right the three watt six watt nine watt so my task was to test certain products in the from the production flow to to test about its quality and the readings are coming correctly so that's the thing which i was doing in those companies in this way i continued to work in electronic uh based company for almost three years so that i work even i worked as as uh managing the inventory of the products so all these things i did for almost three years so one fine day i was thinking like uh what what should be my coming five to ten years what should my future will it be still in this electronic based company or i'll choose some other part uh as a career so then i started searching in google meanwhile i used to visit mumbai venue to seek certain other job opportunities but still i was not satisfied and unhappy in whatever i was doing so then i started searching in google about career in id field and i used to get what should be the things that i need to learn like what should be the programming languages and so on things then i took a course in edureka for devops engineering so i'll be frank i had never heard about the word devops in my entire life that was the first time i heard the word devops even i even i came to know that a word like devops actually exists in the world which is related to career also so i took a course in eureka and uh which which they explained about various devops tools it's it's a kind of interactive course and they taught us about various devops tools like git jenkins kubernetes docker and various monitoring tools so i can say that this this part in my life is actually the first step to my new career i can say that and i took that course and i was i first first i thought i'll do my job and saturday sunday i'll take the course it was three hours every day weekend classes so i started doing that one month two months but it was little bit hard for me to man manage those things because i can tell you that in my batch there were around 20 to 22 people okay and all of them were having uh like id background or in some way they were connected to id coding testing and so on thing and i was the one who was like no prior experience so i was feeling like like am i the only one who is left out so it made me little bit like i was little bit afraid and nervous also but then i thought anyway you are not happy in doing what you are doing right now let's take this risk and explore the things so then i continued to work and then finally one day i decided that i'll quit my job i'll take the risk of quitting my job and give my entire focus to this course learn it and get satisfied get certified so it was like at the ending of the course like still one and one and a half months were remaining so i uh like i quitted my job and then i studied finally i uh completed my course edureka course and i got uh the certificate the eduraka certificate as devops engineer i was very very very happy but this is just the beginning there are more hurdles to come so after completing my course i started applying to id firms in search of jobs this was the time where i actually felt like no one is accepting me okay i used to apply for the jobs and even i was getting call like okay fine you can come for the interview and so on but as soon as they hear about my background they used to tell me oh we want someone who is having two years of experience you do not have any practical uh experience or knowledge about this you have done just the course so that that's the time where everyone rejected me like most of the companies rejected me for that but then i thought okay fine like oh someone or the other will actually accept me and give me a job so i still continue to apply for jobs even i got sales job in i.t but i said no i don't want to do a sales job i want to go technical job in id firm so i keep on applying so one fine day i got to know that there is a interview drive going in in forces i thought why not apply for that company but in the back of my mind i was totally sure that this i'll tell you frankly i was totally sure that i will not get selected in the company okay but i was just going as to experience as to see how is the experience of how the interviews are taken in this big mnc companies so i applied i went there it was my first day at like at the infosys i saw the campus campus was very big i had never seen such kind of campuses in my entire life so i went there i saw like me there were many people sitting around but they were having more experience than me so i said okay fine anyhow i'll not be selected i'll just see around the campus and i'll go back home then i went there it was the first round so first round i went i went there had my round around for 20 20 minutes 20 minutes 20-30 minutes was my first one i came back i was sitting there and i was feeling hungry because i went there without having my breakfast so one of the guard was standing there so i asked him that i'll when will the lizard be displayed so that i can have my brain fast and come back so he said wait for some some more time there is a the results are almost done they will be declared so a person came outside uh from the interview room and he was calling the name of the people who was selected for the second round and i was sure that i'll never be selected okay then he started calling different different names and in that moment he called my name megha i was totally shocked i was like quiet for um i don't know what to say that that feeling was i can never express that feeling i cleared my first round and he said that you are selected for the second round i was very happy that okay i very happy at that time i can tell you i went for the second round second one is much more difficult because it will be pure technical crown so i went there say 10 second round technical round done i came back i was sitting outside i was waiting for the results then that time the person said that he was selected for the second round sorry you have completed the second round and you will be going to the third round i was so happy at that time that okay i have cleared it i have done it then when i went for the third round it was an hr round so 80 to 90 percent of the main technical round was cleared i went for the third round hr on where they discussed about all the salaries and what all the things certificates we need to provide them and the background verification so in so first thing i asked the hr am i selected or is there any other she told me that main technical round is completed we'll do a background verification of yours and if you clear that you are welcoming like you'll get the offer letter for that i was so happy and i went back home happily and i was waiting i was hoping that i'll get the offer letter and within 20 25 days i got my offer letter as an associate consultant at infosys i was so so so happy so blessed to like getting my first job in id company so and uh when i went there so so i can say that from this day like when i started my job in infosys i started working on various technologies i started working on azure technology that was my first thing which i was working i worked on azure databricks creating csid pipelines kubernetes docker integrating them with different technologies all these things even i worked on gcp and aws so it the initial two years was very difficult for me because uh since i had no background i used to take much more time compared to other people to get an understanding of the things okay but anyhow if you if you if you provide your consistency and discipline in that do it every day even if it is a small thing small thing do it every day for sure you will succeed in whatever goal you have set so the first two years was very difficult but at the same time i learned many many technologies right now i'm working as a senior software engineer in cgi company and one thing i can say that is if i can do it you can also do it and hope this video is helpful for you all if you have any queries any questions you can provide that in comment section and i'm happy to answer those things stay tuned for my other videos tech videos i'll be sharing and till then bye have a nice day
