At Udacity, we love our students. We especially love to witness our students advancing through their careers and taking successful advantage of amazing career opportunities. We also love data. Which explains why we now love Paysa, and why we’ve integrated Paysa into our Nanodegree overview pages.
What is Paysa?
Here’s how the company describes what they do:
Paysa is a personalized career platform whose goal is to enable employees to optimize the value of their careers, across the full career arc. We do this by providing Paysa users with personalized and actionable tools, insights, and research so that they can understand what they are actually worth in the market today, and how to meet or exceed their worth.
I could tell you more about Paysa, and why we’re so enamored of them. I could tell you about how they leverage massive data sets, and utilize sophisticated machine learning algorithms. Or I could tell you what their CEO had to say about empowering job-seekers:
“With Paysa, we aim to empower individuals with all of the data they need to make an informed salary decision and help move conversations with employers from an opaque one, to one of transparency and clarity.”
—Chris Bolte, Co-founder and CEO, Paysa
Or, I could tell you that I really wanted to just title this post “Career Opportunities” so I could embed a recording of The Clash song. (Alright, I did embed it, but not until the end of the post!)
But what I really want to tell you about is the Paysa integration on our Nanodegree overview pages.
Career Opportunities: DevOps Engineer
Let’s say you were at Google I/O and heard Carter Morgan speak. And let’s say you got excited about the “Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes” course that he announced.

“DevOps Engineer, eh?” you say to yourself. And let’s say you get curious about career opportunities as a DevOps Engineer. That’s where Paysa comes in!
That Paysa module in the lower right corner is a linked resource. If you follow it, you’ll learn an INCREDIBLE amount about becoming a DevOps Engineer. Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll discover:
