I’m currently in IT Audit at a B4. Thinking about switching to cyber because ITA feels like it could be done by a high schooler and there aren’t any exit ops. Is the grass much greener in cyber? What do you like/dislike about it?

I’m in the same boat. Following

Did the switch 10 years ago and never looked back. ITA is a mindless trap. Cyber has many specialties and is a real domain of knowledge with plenty of room for innovation. Make the switch at all cost or stagnate mentally in ITA forever.
