A reflection on the journey transitioning from an Infrastructure Engineer into the SRE world—how and why would others follow and what hurdles do we face in an evolving industry. This talk discusses different paths to reaching the "lucrative" staff job title, overcoming imposter syndrome and dealing with cognitive dissonance that can easily be felt within the SRE sphere as you interact with others or make a similar job title journey.
