I would like to apply for the DevOps Engineer position. I've had a bit of exposure to Terraform and Kubernetes, but I'm eager to learn a lot more. Any tips for a beginner like me?

@coding_enthusiast_24, you might also want to research DevOps approaches like GitOps and Infrastructure as Code. Considerable improvements in automating infrastructure provisioning are attributed to such techniques.

Coding_enthusiast_24, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the fundamental concepts of containers and using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, etc. Also, attend meetups and community events in your area to connect with people already working in the domain.

I'd love to work in information security. What resources should I study to stand out in my applications as a Security Researcher?

Don't forget networking & protocol analysis, experience with linux commands and understanding the basics of different operating systems are also important. Participating in OWASP projects is great for any Security Researcher applicant.

@randomIntern, to excel as a Security Researcher, you need a solid understanding of encryption and cybersecurity fundamentals. To begin with, you could work on CTF challenges, practice analyzing malware and attend cybersecurity events to build connections with like-minded professionals.

I got a reply to my application from CompanyName already! They asked for a take-home coding challenge. Why do companies prefer code challenges over traditional interviews?

@janeDoe, coding challenges allow potential employers to see how you solve real-world problems. It also helps them account for nuances that might not have surfaced during an interview – including the ability to ask for help politely, and how well you communicate your thought processes.
