Cloud & DevOps Careers in Greece with Panagiotis Papageorgiou

In this episode, Thomas Matoulas sits down with Panagiotis Papageorgiou to unpack what it’s really like building a Cloud & DevOps career in Greece. Panagiotis shares his non-traditional path into tech (self-taught + vocational training), how he landed his first role, and what junior life looked like in practice including 24/7 shift work, early salary realities, and the steep learning curve. They dig into why he moved companies, how growth and salary progression actually happen, and what he’s seen across different workplace cultures from management communication to mentorship and career guidance. Panagiotis also breaks down his experience working with Microsoft Azure, compares Azure vs AWS from a practical perspective, and explains how certifications and training are handled inside companies (when it’s supportive… and when it’s purely for business needs). Finally, they tackle the big market trend: international companies hiring remote talent in Greece, why people consider freelancing/B2B contracts, and what keeps someone staying in a Greek-based role beyond money including flexibility, hybrid work, and team culture. If you’re early in your Cloud/DevOps journey (or hiring in this space), this conversation is packed with honest insights.
