Was in infrastructure/cybersecurity.
Infra I enjoyed, that shit matters and getting it right is impactful.
Cybersec is mostly a bunch of fiat bullshit.
The compliance stuff is busy work to justify consultants who tick boxes whilst there are holes big enough to drive a CCP battalion through if anyone really wanted to do stuff, but there’s no money to fix it because it was all splurged on consultants who ticked boxes saying it’s all good..
And there’s so much FUD going around it drove me mad. Your bullshit detector will go off daily and that becomes draining keeping a straight face in a professional setting when you know someone is talking nonsense.
But probably better coin for you, extract what you can from the fiat mines! Good luck!
haha cheers, what was your role under the security umbrella? I am a malware analyst atm
Looking at helping more on architecture side, etc and who knows either sticking with engineering or go for CISO and care about dick swinging 😂
Worn many hats. Sales, solutions engineer, delivery lead and product.
Architecture and solutions engineering can be good gigs. Decent money and don’t have to sell your soul or put up with too much corporate bullshit.
I wouldn’t be a corporate CISO for all the fiat in the world though - you’re there to be the sacrificial lamb when shit goes wrong and otherwise to dissuade the retards on the Board from the latest nonsense they read in AFR in the Qantas Lounge.
