Your choice to stay in a narrow field. Even basic cloud platform job will pay 55k+ in most of Western Europe, probably more.
Of course, have to learn a broader range of skills.
I'd love to do nothing but Linux. Cumfy as fuck, I hate having to keep learning tech that expires after every 2 years. Wish I could do nothing but Linux. I am burning out quickly and thinking of jettisoning this idea to do DevOps. It's just a nightmare and all free time spent studying/learning, not worth the money, not even if I can one day crack 100k Euros. What's 100k when you get taxed to shit, the margin gains are not worth having no life.

I have a friend in Germany in same situation. He's a "Linux Sysadmin". This job almost doesn't exist anymore. Hence his salary is capped, he stayed long enough that he's OK but he can't work anywhere else for the same money. He's just hanging on till they make him redundant.

It's a rat race, especially for that first job. Do you have an extensive GitHub repo? Probably not.
