Is cloud security outdated now in the consulting industry?

I have a decade of experience being a cyber engineer and cloud security engineer. My firm has stopped investing in cyber and technical cloud work. It sounds like industry is still looking for technical folks though.

Commercial or public sector?

Private companies aren’t buying as much consulting services as they used to. Could be a reason why you are seeing a drop off.

Even public sector has had a recent shift of agencies entering into contracts with small business contractors rather than the large contractors. Mainly because of pricing.

Overall, consulting is changing in every discipline. Not exclusive to cloud work. IMO

Senior to Manager-level Data Scientists, what is the minimum set of skills and experience you require someone to have in order to train them to be a Data Scientist?

I have a handful of people from BI and Marketing who want to learn how to be a "Data Scientist" where some of them have stronger SQL knowledge and ability than others, but some of them have more exposure to languages like Python and R, and a little bit of machine learning exposure.

Appreciate the input in advance.

Currently stuck in risk but interested in Cyber. Have done one related engagement from a regulatory perspective. But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background). If you had a six sigma green belt / supply chain degree/exp., would you still go through the effort of going into Cyber or take easy risk money being offered / easier transition back to supply chain? 2-3 YOE and trying to decide career course, any advice highly appreciated

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.
