Luckily the best career move you can make is also the easiest: continue to add new skills, even if you have to DIY it.\n\n“I think continually educating myself has been really important in my career, and it’s been mostly DIY,” said said [Brendan O’Leary](https://gitlab.com/brendan), a staff developer evangelist, and product and engineering leader at GitLab. “It’s allowed me to make different career moves and advance my career by changing companies or by changing roles at my current company… Continuing to educate yourself is one of the most important things you can do.”\n\n## DevOps education: how to keep learning\n\nIt’s well known that continuing to educate yourself and pursuing certifications are two of the [top ways to increase your paycheck](/blog/four-tips-to-increase-your-devops-salary/), but here’s our best advice on how to bootstrap your learning journey without waiting for your employer.\n\n### Take responsibility for your own journey\n\nDon’t panic if your company is one of the many that doesn’t offer continuous education opportunities: According to the DevOps Institute’s 2021 Enterprise DevOps Skills Report, [52 percent of companies don’t](https://learn.gitlab.com/devops-institute/2021-doi-devops-upskilling-report?utm_medium=email&utm_source=marketo&utm_campaign=devopsgtm&utm_content=doi-devops-upskilling-report). (To be transparent, GitLab was one of the partners in the Institute’s survey.)\n\n### Figure out what you, and your company, need\n\nMake sure you’re not learning about a new technology or tool because it’s the cool new thing. Focus your time and energy on learning something that actually will solve a problem or give your business a competitive edge. Keep your skills aligned with shifting business demands, learning enough about a new technology so you understand if it will solve a business problem.\n\nIn a sea of possibilities, there are some concrete learning options we can suggest. In our [2021 Global DevSecOps Survey](/developer-survey/), we asked respondents what skill or skills would be most important for their future career. A majority of developers said knowledge around artificial intelligence and machine learning would be critical, while ops team members wanted more advanced programming languages. Security pros, on the other hand, wanted to become subject matter experts in their industries.\n\n### Assessing your skills and deficits\n\nGauge your baseline of skills, experience and certifications. What comes naturally to you, and what is more of a struggle? Now compare your baseline to what your company needs, and then broaden it out to what the industry is looking for.\n\nOne easy way to broadly compare your skills to others is to look at a job search site like [Glassdoor.com](https://www.glassdoor.com). The job listings detail the skills, languages, experiences, technologies and other attributes an employer is looking for.\n\nWe randomly grabbed and anonymized a job posting for a DevOps engineer from Glassdoor, below. You’ll see how many boxes you’ll need to check (we bolded the key phrases just to make the point):\n\n_You will demonstrate a **leadership** mindset, solid **operational experience**, and the **ability to problem-solve**. Additionally, you should have exceptional **communication skills**, be knowledgeable about the latest industry trends, and be **highly innovative**. The DevOps Engineer will help enhance and maintain a **programmable infrastructure, configure, implement, debug and document new and existing applications running on Linux and Windows operating systems in private and public cloud infrastructures**. Engage in **design, development, installation, and system administration of build/continuous integration systems, anti-virus systems, and configuration management systems**. Participate in the full development life cycle of DevOps projects including **assessment of requirements, system analysis, and design.**_\n\n### Go to the source for certifications\n\nOf course, there are university classes but they can be pricey. You don’t always have to spend thousands of dollars on a college course. Go to the original source of what you want to learn, and let certifications be your friend. [A survey from the McKinsey Quarterly,](https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/mckinsey-accelerate/our-insights/five-fifty-the-skillful-corporation?cid=fivefifty-eml-alt-mkq-mck&hlkid=a7a8ae1b68574d02b81db1f1eeb8fd8d&hctky=12428831&hdpid=8233aa33-5ff4-4450-a4c7-2f47dfeaf9d0) noted that 66 percent of survey respondents called certifications “extremely valuable.”\n\nFor instance, if you’re using The GitLab Platform, you can get a [security certification](https://university.gitlab.com/learning-paths/certified-security-specialist-learning-path) from GitLab. There are also [certifications for](https://university.gitlab.com/certifications/public/) everything from CI/CD training, to project management and Git basics. Similarly, if you need to bone up on Google Cloud, check out their site for [certifications](https://acloudguru.com/training-library/gcp-cloud-training?utm_campaign=11244863417&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=469352928666&utm_term=b_&adgroupid=115625160932&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5oiMBhDtARIsAJi0qk20jsoQ55oCnlbde3tozrDRExDxxiJ0AooFulqXXguwOX072-OwJNAaAjd3EALw_wcB).\n\n### Other opportunities to educate yourself\n\nYou also can find learning opportunities at a lot of conferences, coding events, bootcamps, hackathons and workshops. Especially in the time of COVID-19, think about taking advantage of online courses. [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com) is full of hands-on technical tutorials, including a lot from GitLab and other tech companies as well as consultants and individual contributors. Don’t forget GitLab Learn, where you can do a self-paced deep dive via video tutorials into a number of key DevOps areas, including [continuous integration (CI)](/solutions/continuous-integration/).\n\nAnd for female developers, organizations like [Women Who Code](https://www.womenwhocode.com/) offer scholarships, tutorials and educational materials.\n\nDon’t forget about mentorships. Find someone who has the knowledge and experience you need and ask them to work with you and bring you up to speed. Then don’t forget to later turn around and lend a hand to the person coming up after you.\n\nStay tuned for more information on what hard and soft skills you should consider adding to your resume.\n\n## Read more on DevOps careers:\n\n- [6 tips to make software developer hiring easier](/blog/6-tips-to-make-software-developer-hiring-easier/)\n\n- [Four tips to increase your DevOps salary](/blog/four-tips-to-increase-your-devops-salary/)\n\n- [DevOps salaries in 2021: Where do you rank?](/blog/a-look-at-devops-salaries/)\n\n- [Have DevOps jobs to fill?
