La même chose est arrivée en 2008 lorsque j'ai commencé ma carrière. Et les salaires ont stagné pendait environ 10 ans. En tant qu'ingénieur logiciel de formation, c'était difficile de passer la barre du $60k par année. Sauf que le coût de la vie était pas mal moins cher qu'aujourd'hui.
Maintenant, pour un DevOps sénior, on offre entre $85k et $100k par année. On demande d'être certifié pour une collection de services cloud comme Azure, AWS, GCP ou pour des technologies comme Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, Puppet et j'en passe. On demande d'être designer et développeur logiciel en une panoplie de langages, de faire l'automatisation via CICD avec Jenkins ou Azure DevOps ou GitHub Actions ou GitLab, d'être expert en cyber sécurité, d'être architecte cloud et tout connaître les services et composantes cloud. Pour moins de 100k? Dans cette économie?

Je suis employé à temps plein chez le même employeur depuis un moment, mais je reste toujours ouvert à d'autres opportunités ailleurs. Récemment, j'ai été contacté par plusieurs recruteurs qui m'ont permis d'avoir des entrevues pour des postes de DevOps à différents endroits. Ce que j'ai remarqué est que les salaires offerts sont à la baisse.
L'an passé il y a eu des mises à pieds massives dans le domaine des TI en Amérique du Nord et ailleurs, en partie à cause de l'entrée de l'IA sur le marché. Les compagnies se sont rendues compte de l'inefficacité et des coûts de l'IA et cherchent à ré-embaucher les experts qu'ils ont perdus. Sauf que... maintenant ils offrent moins, car l'IA peut faire une partie du travail.
Je trouve ça vraiment croche de la part des compagnies. À un moment où le coût de la vie atteint des sommets qu'on a jamais vu auparavant, on est en train de nous couper l'herbe sous les pieds.

Friday thought: Not every season is about pushing harder.
Some seasons are about maintenance, reflection, and preparing for what’s next.
If you’re ending the year tired, uncertain, or in transition — that’s okay.
Momentum doesn’t always look loud.Wishing everyone a steady, low-stress weekend.

Midweek question for #Sysadmins and #IT folks:
When things slow down a bit toward the end of the year, do you tend to:
• Clean up old configs and tech debt
• Experiment in your homelab
• Learn something new
• Or… just keep the lights on and coast?No wrong answers. Curious where everyone’s head is right now.

Friday Reflections:
Someone gave me great advice recently:
Each night: shut off your phone, meditate, take a hot bath, and fall asleep with an audiobook.It’s simple, but it’s helped me wind down, rest deeper, and reset for the next day.
IT work (and life) can be chaotic. But the quiet moments, the ones we choose to protect, make all the difference.
What’s one habit that helps you recharge?
-
Question for my fellow IT pros:
What’s one small thing you’ve done that made your systems noticeably more secure or stable?
Could be an alias, a config tweak, a tool, or a habit.
Sometimes it’s not the big overhauls that save the day but the five-minute fixes.I’ll start: teaching students how to lock down SSH access properly has saved me hours of future troubleshooting.
-
Burnout doesn’t always come from too much work. Sometimes it’s from carrying too much weight in the background. Between ongoing parenting hurdles and the usual chaos of life, I’ve learned how important it is to pause and protect your bandwidth.
This weekend, I’m planning to unplug (a little), recharge, and remind myself that progress isn’t just professional ! It’s personal.
How are you keeping burnout at bay lately?

Between teaching Linux networking, recording new episodes, and keeping my own systems patched, it’s been one of those “busy but good” weeks.
Sometimes the win isn’t finishing everything — it’s keeping momentum without burning out.
What’s one small win you’re carrying into the weekend?
-
When you spin up a new Linux server, what’s the first thing you do after login?
Update packages? Create a new user and disable root login? Install your favorite tools?
For me, it’s usually setting up #Ansible access!
What’s your ritual?

Applying online and hearing nothing back? You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.
