Hi all, currently have 2 YOE in Info Assurance at a company that deals with PII and PHI daily. For the future I am torn between trying to get into a more forensics focused role or continuing this track into a security architect role. Either way I would like to move into a bigger company (possibly FAANG or somewhere like AbbVie). Any advice on which path I should take (forensics or architecture) and what my next seps should be (certs etc.). Any and all input is welcome. Thanks in advance

I think I’m looking for a mixture of passion and pay lol. I like both areas though I haven’t worked in forensics so might just be some curiosity driving that. Either way, appreciate your input
