For years, people asked me: “What’s the real DevOps salary range?”
And every time, the honest answer was: it depends — on country, company type, role scope, and whether you’re owning reliability outcomes or just tooling.

That’s why I built the BestDevOps Salary Hub — a single place to compare DevOps compensation across countries and roles without mixing apples and oranges.
https://www.bestdevops.com/salary/

What you’ll find inside:

Country-wise salary ranges (so you can compare markets fairly)
Role bands across DevOps Engineer, SRE, Platform Engineer, DevSecOps, Cloud/Infra roles
A view of what changes the band (production ownership, SLOs, incident leadership, security + automation depth)
A curated list of top global companies hiring DevOps/SRE talent
A practical salary negotiation checklist (what to ask, what to prove, what to avoid)

If you’re hiring, switching roles, or planning your 2026 career path — this is built for you.
