For all the cybersecurity folks, how do you like your job? Can I go into a cybersecurity role without any experience? Is the learning curve huge?

It is an extremely broad area. I think there is a serious skills shortage so I think it’s quite possible to lateral into cyber with experience/studies in an adjacent area e.g. tech consulting, IT, international relations or a demonstrated interest in the space

It’s what I did. Tech consulting 2YOE with bachelors in international relations before switching to cyber.

Anyone can do any job if you’re determined. Get the ISACA cert CISSP, then highlight aspects of your role related to cybersec. Learning curve is infinite in everything. You just need to be confident with your own ability.

I can create an EV better than Tesla. Pretty certain he can too. There are many variables snd constraints - capital, clout, network, regulatory license etc.
