Welcome to the club, this is Big 4 consulting, you are not hired to become a cyber security SME

I’m at 3ish experience and still getting interviews though I’m in IT Strategy. Make sure you’re listing your hot skills and making your resume list your contributions/accomplishments.

Thanks
Do you suggest any specific roles to target at?

Wow I’m on the same boat! I’m a Cybersecurity consultant and want to twitch over to the tech side but when reviewing job requirements I feel like I’ve learned nothing over the past 3 years at my company. Low key depressed thinking about it. I feel stuck. I’m young and feel like I’m wasting my prime years.
