I know this is a few months old but hey just joined. I started as a SOC analyst after I left the military. I can tell you that you will eventually hit a ceiling in a SOC unless you plan to move up. You will likely want to make a pivot into engineering or incident response from there. I would lean toward starting in engineering if you can, but there is a ton to learn in a SOC especially if you go to a MSSP like NTT Security or something similar. Really depends on what your long-term goals are for your career. Security has really blown up into so many career paths instead of just having the one security person (although many shops still operate this way).
