I have a question for cyber security consultants who left consultancy for industry? How were you able to do it and how transferable were you skills? This is especially because of the issue of getting staffed on projects you want vs what is available.

Not very transferable, but it depends on what you have been doing in consulting. I would suggest you make a transition when you’re a senior. Otherwise you become too overpriced for your skills in industry. Doing is very different than security advising.

Industry jobs (including GRC) are more technical. I am now just in a consulting-like role in industry now. 😂
