Hi All,

Currently I m having 6 YOE, I have experience in API development, consulting and devops, I am currently pursuing an advanced cybersecurity 9 month certification with Upgrad, it covers information, network and application security. I would like to shift my career to application penetration testing, please let me know the steps to follow for a smooth transition. Please advise on topics to have hands on, global certification and also on job search.

Hello,

The best way forward is to get a specialization certification in Pen Testing. One like PenTest+, LPT, OSCP, GPEN, GWAPT, GXPN. There are several others available as well. So best choice will be to read about them, check the price and decide which one suits you the best. All the best.

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
