So... What's your actual question? People ask "how to break into cyber from x," but what's your experience? What role are you looking at?

If your question is if it's possible, sure. Will you be hired as a CISO tomorrow, no.

Use a reverse job search strategy. I call it reverse because you search for demand to build a training program. Find 20-30 examples of requirements for the role you are seeking. You can look on LinkedIn or where ever. Copy those requirements into a word doc. Add the doc with 20-30 examples of job requirements and your resume to Chat GPT. Ask it to build you a training program based on short term, mid term, and long term goals. Fine tune the prompt for higher quality results. It should guide you down the right path. Watch for a bias toward a specific set of requirements. It does go off the rails sometimes. I have done this a couple times and it does work.

I just joined a non-dream company as a 10+ years experience guy. My friend working in my dream company forwarded a job requirement from his internal postings. I want to give it a try but in case I get selected how hard or bad would it be to quit current company? I want to know what consequences I should be ready to face. Can someone please advice?

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
