What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

Infrastructure & Security portion of DevSecOps ultimately supporting Software Developers.

So yes we are all software developers.

Hehe same. Pivot to the cloud my operation friends. I realize it’s mostly buzzwords but adding “AWS” and “DevOps” were the two biggest recent bumps to my resume.

Same. I just got a dream offer. Silicon Valley pay but I can stay in my low cost of living Midwestern city. doubled my salary and I was already paid very well. I will have less headaches and responsibilities as well.

Only because I took the DevSecOps transition role because I knew a little AWS, and Ansible at my current company and updated my linkedin.
