I would move on to bigger picture strategy. Especially cloud security. Being a Splunk specialist will give you a good edge. Good luck!

How about architecture and biz development

I would maybe consider doing a Sans security course. Possibly 401 or 504 to round out your security skills

Go work for Splunk. They have some really interesting roles and a good culture

Don’t take SANS 401, it is trash

Did you do any integration with VM scanners? Have any Vulnerability Management experience?

During union negotiations last year, we asked for a small number of bedside RNs to be in committee on workplace violence (after an RN was actually beaten up by pt. & hospitalized) although almost no cost to administration- they declined so no voice from those ACTUALLY experiencing. Now same “leaders” all in masks getting their pics taken for PR thanking us etc. hassled us on every tiny contract point - now “we’re all in this together?
