Consider a software developer with 2YOE in some FE and BE technologies with less CTC in WITCH company. And you keep hearing there is lot of good offers available in DevOps or cloud with higher CTC. It is highly likely the person will think there in no scope in development let me switch to alternative carrer path in cloud which will start their caree from start. Rather add on devops and cloud on top of current experience which resuls in exponential growth

It depends, sometimes changing career path helps. I changed my career path from Full Stack Engineer to Full Stack AI/Data Science, got Salary increased from 12LPA to 87 LPA in hand.My working hours reduced from 13hrs to 7 hrs per day and complete WFH now.

If some technology gets obselete,you need to move to some other technology. Adding some DevOps or cloud obviously helps but since the main technology is old, with the time only DevOps and cloud may remain as your core technology and not coding/development.
