Online Masters in Cybersecurity or Computer Science? I’m debating between applying to Georgia Tech’s OMS in CS vs CMU’s MS Infomation Security Policy and Management. My undergrad was in CS at a private school and I’ve had no Cyber experience before big4 cyber work. Lately I’ve been finding the security program strategy/transformation work to be repetitive & boring and interested in getting back to more technical work like appsec. Currently a Senior Manager with 10 YOE. 167k TC. Thoughts/advice?

Hello Fishes,
Has anyone landed a role of SRE with Arcesium recently?

Just curious, how much do Partners make at a firm

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.
But due to the diminishing demands of the role in IT industry , I am planning to switch my career in Devops or AWS which would help me grow.
But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
Do companies hire for AWS profiles with good packages at beginners level?

Hi everyone,

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

Hope everyone is doing well and happy, recovering from the heart break ❤️

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.
