To be honest, it is difficult to change the domain even being in cybersecurity space for 3 years. Considering you being SRE for 10 years, are you ready to work as an intern (fresher) with 3.5 LPA?

If your answer is yes then we can discuss ahead.

It's not easy to switch domain after having 10 yoe.
Continue in your domain

Let’s say I want to get into pentesting and CEH - where would you advise starting if my experience is minimal? I know my way around things but not much scripting or too heavy network experience. Downloaded Kali on a VM to get some tools, but let’s say you could advise me of a training course/package to start with - what would it be, and from where? My current job is going to let us pick something, and while my answer would be to go to DEFCON 😂 that’s obviously not gonna happen this year.
