Are companies still hiring for Cyber Security managers?

Or just primarily security engineers and analysts. I used to be a cloud security engineer and then moved into security consulting. I have been struggling to find management roles though.

You kind of have to get lucky by having someone tag you in it. Either stay and hope to get promoted by a higher level leader sponsoring and willing to go to bat for you when the time comes. Or try your luck with recruiters. (I had more like with the latter )

Yes, that I already have. I also have CISA, CISM, and couple cloud certs.

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but. Should I be looking at more security analyst/admin roles first? Going for certs? Getting a masters? Wondering what I can do to improve my chances. TIA
