Sharks and other fishes,
I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

Posting as :
works at
You are currently posting as works at

I've been in the company since past 10ish months, my first gig after University.

Cybersecurity is highly in demand right now. If you are interested, go for it!
