Trying to get into security consulting. 3YOE doing implementation / migration consulting and got security +. Cyber risk is probably the easiest transition but thinking about trying to go more technical to set myself up better down the road or maybe even doing sales engineering as another entry point. Any thoughts or similar experiences? I have also done app security practice w portswigger academy.

I think Cyber Risk is a good way to do it! Get certs in your own time (or with firm support!) and make it known you’ve got a technical skillset. At least at my firm I doubt you’d stay non-technical for long
