What are you pivoting from?

telecom engineering/mgmt. I don't hate it but I'm not interested in it at all, and learning how to navigate my ADHD has helped me understand how easily I get distracted away from things that don't interest me. It makes me bad at my job -- or at least it keeps me from doing my best.

So I guess what I'm really doing is trying to pivot away from something that doesn't interest me and in to something that does.

Makes sense. Sec+ with that experience should make for a solid pivot. There are so many ways to pivot but my understanding is ppl usually go blue team first and soc analyst is a common first job. Definitely dream big though and explore all the things and just apply to whatever seems interesting! Excited to see where this takes you!
