I am guessing this isn't the first post of it's kind but I am curious how someone moves from a support role into a cyber security position with little experience.

You start by doing a darn good job in your role. Get your security+ certificate. Wait for that internal job posting and have your manager and coworkers give a great reference. Most people only do the minimum for their job, so more, ask for more and be the person other teams know will get stuff done. I've hired a lot and always recommend people if I think they will be an asset. Don't be the one doing only what's asked. I know the whole I'm only going to do what I get paid for speal...but it doesn't help in the long run

Sorry to hear that. Nothing is ever perfect but usually it works. Keep expanding your skill set. Be the person people know gets stuff done and definitely expand the people that respect your work ethic. Most have about 3 real opportunities in life. Grab it when it comes. You'll get where you want. Might not be the first time but keep working and hold on when it comes. You sound like someone I'd love to have on my team

1. Internal transfer based on transferable skills, good track record, and maybe a few projects with the cybersec team.
2. Reskill/upskill, apply, and start from a suitable position.

They work to gain the appropriate schooling, skills, and/or experience.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
