Hi guys. I have around 7.5 yoe in tech (3.5 as technical analyst and 4 in devos/sre roles). Most of my devops/sre experince was working with very modern stack including kubernetes, docker, gitlab cicd, aws cloud, elk, terraform.
I lost my job last May and finally got a new job as contractor for "System Support engineer" role in last November. Main problem is its mostly legacy tech or thing I never worked with before, using RHEL, Ansible, Jenkins, Grafana and some (very old) internal tools for data pipelines. I'm working around 45-50 hours per week (on-site except Fridays).
I'm still trying to apply for devops roles but problem is I'm slowly forgetting most of stuff about AWS, Terraform or kubernetes/docker, and I dont really have time or energy to study them again and again for Interviews, I finally had an interview recently and failed it because I forgot some basic AWS concepts.
Has anyone been in this situation before? I would really appreciate if you can share you experince if you have.
