Need some advice. I have a Computer Engineer degree, I’m trying to focus on web3 software but also have interest in cybersecurity. Not sure if I should just start looking for web3 software jobs or do a masters in cybersecurity. I know web3 pays a lot but would a cybersecurity masters make a bigger difference in salary when looking at cybersecurity positions vs just going software/web3 now? Or should I be looking at software masters programs?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
