I have a great deal of experience as an Analyst on the sales side of the business. However, I am interested in Cybersecurity. I am studying for the Security+ exam and will complete this by the end of November. Any advice on how to strengthen my resume? I’m willing to study and take any certifications to better my chances.

I think it’s worth finding a recruiter to help place you. They’ll be able to do some selling on your behalf based on you being driven to learn and a “self starter”.

For your resume, focus on metrics that have helped sales teams in your time as an analyst.

Also, don’t be scared to take a step back job title wise to be at a good company that will promote you more quickly. It’s likely you’ll make the same or more money in a cyber role regardless of job title.

My job (biglaw, finance, midlevel) is a poor fit overall — both in the adhd sense and more broadly in that it doesn’t really play to my strengths.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years.

Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
