I used to work 18-hour days. Does that count? I would show up at the office at 5 AM and leave after everybody else. I thought it would make me look like a hard worker and a team player, and I was right.

At what cost? Your family?

Not me but watched a colleague get their line manager fired so they can take their spot.

They managed to get the line manager fired because they messed up, so it’s not like the line manager was a saint. But crazy how my colleague had the conviction and drive to go through with it.

Also crazy that they would even think it in the first place. But it paid off, they did get their spot and it did accelerate their career.

Wow. I just don't think I am ruthless enough for that. Granted some people do need to go but I don't want to get anyone fired so I can take their spot. That wouldn't feel good to me.

Gossip with my boss I guess. Not a gossippy person, but he loves that kinda stuff

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.
