There is certainly a disconnect between the people that write job offers and actual Devops. As was always, and will continue to, until a bit of time passes and the term establishes itself.

I've been in projects where the devops team was just a collection of glorified Jenkins Maintainers, responsible solely for CI/CD.
Others, where the devops was just an ops, doing actual Linux maintenance, far from any Dev stuff.

Right now I'm in the very first project where one devops is actually part of each Dev team. Doing real devops stuff. Still not as close to the definition as I'd like (teams consisting of only devops with varying levels of specialization between the two fields), but it's already way more productive than the previous gigs.

I'd say give it time for HR/Headhunters to adjust. To this day I'm still getting offers that are looking for J2EE developers, completely oblivious of the fact it's been called JEE, then JavaEE and now JakartaEE in the meantime, so it'll probably be a while 😅
