If you are getting into cybersecurity, I would say start from an ebtry elevl job, and on the side explore all the sub domains in this field, as much as you can, through videos on YT (from good channels), blogs, connect with people on Linkedin, etc.etc etc. there are hundreds of other ways of doing this.

Then evaluate with which field your interest/passion aligns the best and start building you career in that domain. Just a sidenote, this doesn't happen in an overnight.

Simply running after certs or which domain gives good returns won't get you much in the long run, some of these are highly technical domains, which require a good deal of investment in terms of time and effort.

Why ey1

What do you mean by the highest domain! The highest domain is CISO. For that you need to have at least 2 decades of experience in different areas of cyber security!

You should have specialized in all areas of cyber security including managing cyber security budget

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well.

Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
