DevOps Engineering's published band tops out higher (₹42,000 vs ₹36,000 for a fresher) — though the gap closes fast with a portfolio, and both climb well past these figures with experience.

Both start at Module 01 with nothing assumed, so "easier" really comes down to which kind of work you'd rather be doing daily — see the tools and topics compared above before deciding on difficulty alone.
