So got put on the spot by my boss today... during quarterly check in.

I have a month-end of year to figure out if I want to be pushed toward a Management Role or Prod-Ops (much more DevOps environment, much more scripting and AWS+ Terraform things)

Cause if I don't give input I'm getting pushed into management (sorta.. we are still strong on DevOps.. and all our management in OPS still do ops things and oncall and stuff)

Put the position titles you're being offered into a salary checker and find out as many details as you can about each option. If you're not sure which to choose right now, it's cause you need more information to make a good choice!

If you have all the information and you're still not sure which to choose, think outside of your company. Which option makes you easier to hire? Which position would you rather work at other companies?

Also: 🎉CONGRATS!🎉 :D

@mawr Thank you mawr! This is definitely a good way to get started!

It's still months off, by the end of the year my boss wants me either attending management and project lead meetings and trainings (more than I already do) or paired up with some of our SREs for projects and supplemental training resources so when our yearly review comes up I'm ready for a new role and he and easily push things through.
