Hi,

Currently I am working as a Security Operations Centre(SOC) Analyst. Have 6 months of experience. I am worried about my career's future as i was put in this domain randomly as all sbc's do to freshers. But I am enjoying this field now, learning about new security event excites me. I just want to ask is there any future monetary wise in this field? or should I grind leetcode(don't like) and try to switch to a more devloper role?

Don’t worry mate, if you are really interested in security then there is ocean of opportunities out there. Keep on grinding upgrade your skills and you never regret it. There is huge demand out there for skilled security professionals and as pay wise it’s really paying well if you have the skills.

I suggest you to explore and find what really interests you even in security there are multiple vertices.

Security is the future bro. You'll practically poison your career if you go to dev again. Its saturated and old.

Well if you're a master coder then you might switch. Otherwise the market already has plenty of average and above avg folks
