Answer 3

It's all true but just getting hands-on on the tech won't help you because to fetch a job with a handsome salary you will have to get certified with a reputated institution.

Answer 4

Though people who have studied DevOps get highly paid, most of the companies require the candidates to have 8-10 years of experience. With that much of experience(and even with lesser experience than that), designations like Software Architect and Data Scientist will also get paid higher than that of a DevOps Engineer.
