So I did cyber for 7 years in the military. The whole gamet from network eng. and analysis to capability testing, through Red teaming (was trained on forensics and defense but was never really operating on the blue side).

I pivoted to MBA and consulting (primarily tech) when I got out and get paid well but am working like 70 or so hours a week. Have considered a transition back to cyber but was never really sure how to gage my experience nor what position to consider (I have a lot of management exp. and do that presently despite my title).

Was wondering basically the same question as EY1's original response from this lens. What should I be considering from a role perspective and would I need to go back and get my cissp or recert my CCNA or Sec+ (expired) for that?

Thanks for sharing. Super impressive.

Nicely done!
