I dont know where to ask this: I'm looking for a career coach or some sort of guide. Been in cyber and pivoted so many times I'm no longer sure what I enjoy doing or if I need to specialize in something or just get out. Anyone know of such a service or professional and can recommend one (or more)?

You need to specialize in something. Being generalist is bad in the market right now for cyber and there’s a lot of unemployed cyber GRC generalists.

Try to get a more niche or technical skill (Cloud Security, Cyber Engineering, Gov Regulations).

I am also facing a similar issue here.

Am I being paid competitively? I have been the Onboarding Sup for my HR dept for over a year now and I’m being paid the state min for salary, which for CA is 62,400. I have not gotten a merit raise since the last 2 January’s, the state raises the threshold for salary folks. My company says that was my raise. Is this right? I bring a background from the clinical operations of my company, scheduling, field work, and what the average employee faces. I want to look else where but I’m not sure.

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.
