Ask HN: What pays more, DevOps vs. WebDev?

1 points by helloworld0088 ↗ HN
My current role is "DevOps/Platform Engineer". I write a lot of glue code that hooks different Cloud services together. CI/CD, Docker, Config Mgmt, etc. It's fun and it pays the bills.

Recently, I've enjoyed learning Ruby on Rails outside of work.

I like the fact that everything is contained in a monolithic application VS tiny microservices scattered across different cloud providers. It's less mentally taxing I believe.

So I'm curious about salary/job growth of DevOps/Platform engineers VS Full Stack Web Devs. Does one pay more than the other? Does one have more or less competition?
