Let me answer this very clearly. The cybersecurity is divided in 4 main types as follow.

Analyst, VAPT, Forensic and Auditing.

Now it depends on how you want to grow and where. Let me throw some light of works done.

For Anaylst you will have be available 24x7 since its SOC. For VAPT you need to have constant research and learning till you retire. For Forensic you have few companies to Jump and for Auditing you will have to travel a lot and will have to do same thing till you retire.

I hope this helps for more info you can continue to comment.

Hi,I am interested in getting into iot/ot security too.what do I need to learn to get into it?

Go for CEH and i would say as a fresher u should go for youtube videos for better understanding on how vulnerabilities works and mitigation for that..

I am having 6 years of experience, from past 5 months I ve been doing a security specialization course from Upgrad, it covers various aspects of information security, network security and application security. I would like to focus on application penetration testing, do you feel it's a right choice to switch domain after 6 year?

You get job now

This is the time where in you develop approach for pentesting, be it web/mobile/cloud/network or something else. Would suggest you to do diverse projects with diverse clients and then according to your interest branch out to a specialization.

I am currently a civil engineer thinking of switching to software engineering. I got my masters in water resource engineering where I was coding a decent amount for assignments and it has really stuck with me. Unfortunately, in my current role and field (civil), I don’t really get to do much coding. Does anyone have a similar experience of jumping ship to do software engineering? What would be the best way to go about it (coding bootcamp, another degree, something else)?
