Sometimes I think about this myself(40) but then remind myself that as long as I keep learning, keep evolving, and keep grinding it don't matter what they do. I'll be able to find a lane for myself.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about it. I am no longer in take a chance we can teach him age unfortunately. I am in the, I need to know this ish age.

Since everyone is saying the field is saturated now with outsourcing etc, is it best to try the Cloud Sys route? What route is the fastest, with remote work and high salary at this point I'll study 10hours a day I need a change man.

Bumping this. Is Cloud a less saturated route at this time?

I've been staking through not getting certs but finally hit a road block(even with a bachelors in cyber) :francis:

Apparently I'm a great engineer, but higher management would like to see me with security trifecta(Security+, Cysa+, CASP+)

Don't know how I feel about it, but I guess I'll get to work

Given that you are already in the field, you can breeze through those certs probably with little to no studying.

I Am ( no pun intended) :troll:

If you dont know how SAML, SCIM , Oauth, OIDC work..learn that stuff.
Then learn one of the Identity platforms ...Okta, Entra(Azure) Identity..preferably both.


What are they using for IGA? (Sailpoint, Saviynt?) If they pulling you in meetings soak that stuff up.

Bet. We use Azure, gotta get back studying on that next year.

No IGA solution just yet. I WISH we were implementing SailPoint but that shyt is too expensive. They're looking at a cheaper product but I'll soak up the experience nonetheless.



Just realized they prpbably won't do anything for another year if they go thru with it tho :sadbron:
