They say to get into this field, you have to understand the foundations of computer systems before you can understand how to secure them. You need the real world experience, kind of like how doctors are residents before they are doctors. I would start in IT support analysis, networking or systems admin.

ex FAANG here: Yes, learn your IT and coding. Come back when you’re done after 1-3 years of real experience. Grab certs. Network with people. You “could” find an entry role in SOC. But the pay won’t be great and the modern security teams with 0 tech background are non performers that will be devastating to your career later. Don’t skip foundations or you’ll be a big 4 weasel

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
