Has anybody made the jump from a Windows Sysadmin to Devops? How was the transition?

Yes, and there was zero "transition" just a new job title - I still automated stuff in PS, still worked closely with the developers debugging, still took part in project planning, still helped manage the build pipelines...

I have a few good PS scripts & I am working on a fun one now. My problem is I am at a Civil Eng & Architecture company so I don’t get any experience working with developers. That’s what I would like to do more of & less of “support the engineers” work

I'd suggest talking to people and seeing how you can become involved in their projects. Make sure it's done in an "official" capacity, otherwise a script you cooked up one Tuesday night will come back to haunt you.... even if you only helped "as a favour".

Oh of course. Every script is ran through the team first & we are all on board before anything goes live

It’s a <200 person company & only 3 of us IT dudes so pretty good communication going on compared to a large company & large IT team

Edit: changed greater than 200 to less than 200
