I pretty much work whenever I like, except for the 1-2 daily meetings I have during normal business hours. > what's the best path for a senior software developer to enter that space? Is the pay the same? Well it depends what you’d wanna do. I work in application security which imo is the easiest transition into security for a senior dev. Security experts who possess a strong programming background are quite rare. It’s been a huge advantage for me personally. The most straightforward way into appsec might be to get your oscp. People will take you seriously if you’re a senior dev and have that cert. I hear it’s a beast but it can be done with a few months of serious effort. As for pay, It’s hard to tell cause devs have a wide range. I make ~170k and live in Atlanta for reference after 4 yrs experience. The roles that come my way are between 150k-225k. Obviously if you can land a FAANG role the compensation can be much greater.
