But I agree with D1. Need to slowly inch your way into the space.

So another option is to be involved with the pen testing team or pen testing that is performed on your company. Offer to work on the reporting or organize putting the information into a ticket system.

Alternatively, if the above aren’t options, see if you can be involved with the reporting of or ticket creation of vulnerability scan.

We typically make our brand new pen tester sit and perform pen testing work with a senior and then have them heavily involved with report writing. See the results of a pen test can give you insight into the thought process of an attacker.

Hi guys,
I am a Re starter, looking for job in KYC/AML field. Please if there any openings. Kindly let me know. Thanks

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

I have about 1.5 years of progressive digital marketing experience, and prior to this, about 2 years of people management experience in a different industry. I’ve been offered a middle management position with company I’m currently at that requires me to manage 4 others below me, but is only offering a $5k salary increase - to $65k. Does that seem on the low end or is it valid? Any help is appreciated!
