Is leaving SWE for devops worth it, to get a foot in the door?

Not sure of the exact nature of this devops position but it looks like this group thinks devops has limited growth potential.

Depends what you mean by DevOps. Automating infrastructure with code = yes, installing and configuring Jenkins = no

If you do a lot of development for infrastructure, it might be worth it. Nowadays, DevOp is a fancy word for sysadmin

I dont agree , devops is evolving depends on company, if you will be writing code for infrastructure totally worth it.
