Career change into criminal intelligence / cyber security.

15 years in data analytics/sales ops, no formal degree. Exploring intelligence analyst, cyber crime, or GRC roles in Adelaide.

Applied for TAFE's Cert IV in Cyber Security. Would love honest answers from anyone in the field:

- What qualifications do I actually need to break in without a degree?
- What's the realistic salary range starting out vs experienced?
- What's your day-to-day like?

Genuinely keen to hear the reality. Thanks!

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
