I had a opportunity to move to the platform team and become a SRE. I have 3 years of work experience working as a backend developer. I write Java code for a micro-service for a SaaS product currently. Should I make the move? TC Grade 6 125k 7%bonus Overtime Pay for On calls 10k joining bonus
What would be a good TC? Do you think SREs grow more than developers these days?
How is your new offer compared to your current TC?
Depends. API layer product development is toxic and no career growth.
OP did you take up the SRE role ? I’m on same boat unable to decide to stay in software development (fullstack contracting ) vs SRe full time role. Please share your experience.
Is this at Cisco?
Yes. I am a developer for the same SaaS product. I joined this team straight out of school.
