Answer 2

Who's stopping you?

Many programmers and devops like to shift the turnover onto their superiors.
You will fight for the budget, look for a technical justification for the purchase of equipment and software.

Communicate with dudes with a "Drilling" look.
Enjoy! Welcome to aboard.

Answer 4

Yes and no!
It all depends on:
1) how good a specialist you are
2) company policy (there are those who don’t give a damn about your crust, but there are those who firmly believe in the power of the university and the resulting crust)
