I’m interested in transitioning from electrical hardware design to an info sec role. Any tips? I’m already doing some coursera work and going through everything on tryhackme. My goal is to get a few industry certa under my belt and then start applying for jobs.
Thoughts?
- djrogers 5y agoThat sounds about right - don’t despise small beginnings, you will likely need to work a few stints as an L1 SOC analyst to start getting a feel for what the problem set and processes are really like, but the smart L1s can usually progress rapidly. If you find yourself in a SOC a where everyone is stressed out and nobody has any mobility, learn what you can then move on.
