  • one thing to consider, I've not found it too difficult to transition from dev -> devops -> SRE. The opposite direction seems more tricky (as development skills/experience is harder to pick up on the job for one in IT than vice versa). This is just a personal anecdote tho

    In the end, I'd choose the one that appeals to you more. But I do think that development is the more valuable (strictly in the market sense) career track and gives you more options to transition later down the road. So if you're doing well right now and aren't really anxious to transition, I'd stick with it until you have a few years of experience

    I'm some years past college now tho so I can't speak on what the relative prospects are for new grads, esp in Canada
