Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!
I have around 6 years of experience in different fields like vulnerability management, web penetration testing, SAST, DAST, secure architecture reviews and threat modeling.
What is a career path suitable for someone with this background? Security architect? Principal security engineer? I am not sure what steps I should be taking to progress. I am considering taking CISSP or CCSP as a major cert in the coming year.
What is “progress” to you? Where are you trying to go? Is there something you want to learn to do? A title you want? A salary you want? Responsibilities you want? Working for a specific company or industry?
