I've been shifting into cyber for the past few months and i really enjoy it. I never liked making web sites anyways. Cyber seems more my style.
Edit: cyber meaning ethical hacking, with some blue team stuff thrown in.

Looks like I should be ok... put the resume out, about 50 or so apps the past week, have 5 screenings/interviews over the next coming week. At the very least my resume looks good. Now just need to practice talking, lol

I had an interesting conversation with one of the companies I've been interviewing with. I interviewed with them months ago for a tech sales role that was for their "Marquee" accounts. Conversation with the recruiter went well and I talked to the hiring manager. Decent conversation. Ultimately they decided to pass on me saying that they needed someone with more experience to handle their Marquee accounts, but I may be good for one of their tech sales role in their Enterprise accounts.
I'm talking to a manager for their Enterprise accounts and he really likes me and my experience. They give me a Hacker Rank assessment two weeks ago. The recruiter told me that him and the hiring manager noticed I scored really high on it. 195/215. He mentioned to me most candidates are scoring in the 170s and 180s so I'm a strong candidate.
Interesting enough the recruiter told me that it seems I may be a good fit for their Marquee accounts....ran by the same woman who said that I needed more experience
and she will also be on the panel
Honestly I'd rather just work under the manager that really likes me instead of that indecisive woman but I'm glad I'm a top contender.

Dope man. Its always a good sign when a manager really likes you during the interview processI had an interesting conversation with one of the companies I've been interviewing with.

Why constant job cuts could be the new normal for Big Tech
Big Tech companies like Google and Amazon went through several rounds of massive job cuts last year. Now, they're making smaller cuts. This might become the new normal.

Google has laid off over a thousand employees across various departments since January 10th. CEO Sundar Pichai’s message is to brace for more cuts.
“We have ambitious goals and will be investing in our big priorities this year,” Pichai told all Google employees on Wednesday in an internal memo that was shared with me. “The reality is that to create the capacity for this investment, we have to make tough choices.”
So far, those “tough choices” have included layoffs and reorganizations in Google’s hardware, ad sales, search, shopping, maps, policy, core engineering, and YouTube teams.
“These role eliminations are not at the scale of last year’s reductions, and will not touch every team,” Pichai wrote in his memo — a reference to when Google cut 12,000 jobs this time last year. “But I know it’s very difficult to see colleagues and teams impacted.”
Pichai said the layoffs this year were about “removing layers to simplify execution and drive velocity in some areas.” He confirmed what many inside Google have been fearing: that more “role eliminations” are to come.
“Many of these changes are already announced, though to be upfront, some teams will continue to make specific resource allocation decisions throughout the year where needed, and some roles may be impacted,” he wrote.
A spokesperson for Google didn’t have additional comment.
