I’m currently looking at a Investor Relations role at an employee owned hedge fund with $30B AUM. I’m currently a staff 2 in audit and I’ve always been interested in BD/IR. Is this a dumb move? I’m worried about career growth and not sure if I’m going to be pigeon holed.

I'm currently in a BDR role but have been studying for my PSM and getting ready to take that test soon. Does anyone have any advice for how to pivot from sales to being a Scrum Master? It seems everyone wants a SM to have 3 to 5 plus experience to even look at your resume.

Let’s say I want to get into pentesting and CEH - where would you advise starting if my experience is minimal? I know my way around things but not much scripting or too heavy network experience. Downloaded Kali on a VM to get some tools, but let’s say you could advise me of a training course/package to start with - what would it be, and from where? My current job is going to let us pick something, and while my answer would be to go to DEFCON 😂 that’s obviously not gonna happen this year.

The other positions don’t interest me as much.

Wondering if I’m making the right choice
