I came into the session thinking I needed to start from scratch for DevOps — turns out I was wrong. Devesh didn't just ask generic questions. He actually went through my resume, identified that I already had Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform exposure from my CapitalOne work that I was undervaluing, and then showed me exactly where the real gaps were. The biggest eye-opener was when he pointed out that I have an AWS DevOps Professional certification and 14 years of enterprise experience, but no scripting and no end-to-end system ownership — and that's exactly what's holding me back from Lead DevOps roles. Nobody has ever broken it down that clearly for me before. By the end of the session, I had a complete 6-month roadmap personalized to my background, a clear understanding of what $200K DevOps roles actually expect, and honestly, a lot more confidence that this transition is doable. This wasn't a sales pitch disguised as mentoring — it was a genuine diagnostic session where I walked away knowing exactly what to do next. Highly recommend Devesh if you're a developer looking to move into DevOps or Cloud roles. He knows the space inside out and gives you a real plan, not generic advice.

Who can join my Long Term Mentorship Program?
As a mentor, I expect my mentee to embody a strong sense of discipline, diligence, and a growth mindset. I encourage them to be proactive and take ownership of their learning journey. Demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement, open-mindedness, and adaptability is essential. I value honesty and transparency, and I encourage them to seek guidance when needed. Above all, I hope to see a genuine passion for their chosen field and a drive to make a positive impact. Through these virtues and work ethics, we can forge a successful and fulfilling mentorship journey together.

One of the Best Mentors in My Life I’m truly fortunate to have a mentor whose wisdom, support, and strategic insight have pushed me to grow, excel, and become my best self. Their leadership is magnetic, their guidance invaluable, and their impact on my career simply unmatched.

Loved the session with Devesh! He is extremely thoughtful, patient and thorough in his questions and responses. It was wonderful to know about his journey after college - specifically the domain he explored during his time at Google and how he's using all these years of experience to know building his own startup. I learnt so much from how he made that transition - excited to use some of those insights in my own journey! All in all, a super nice and productive chat. I'm glad I got connected to Devesh via preplaced and would continue to stay connected to him and learn from him as much as I can. :)
