I'm a QA engineer looking to switch from networking domain (sdwan) to cyber security.

Could someone suggest any technical roles that I should look for and whether any certifications are required to make this switch?

I have 6.5 YOE and current salary is 30LPA. Looking for roles that pay in the same range.

Appreciate any kind of inputs. Thanks!

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?
