Will I have to go back to school to get out of IT Audit? I’ve been working my IT Audit job for about 7 months now. I have a degree in Computer Information Systems where I focused in on Data Analytics. I just bombed a Data Analyst interview because at this point I don’t remember anything from school. I seriously am angry that I take the wrong job out of undergrad and now I’m stuck in this niche it seems like without having to waste more money for a position I was qualified for.

I can speak all the tech stuff like Python, R, and SQl. As well as AWS etc. but at this point I feel hopeless. I’ve had numerous interviews in the preceding months. But don’t get any feedback even tho I request it. I feel trapped honestly, I’ve learned no skills anyone seems to care about, or if they do any candidate has them.

have you learnt or got certified in cloud security?

I don’t have any interest in the cyber security space to be honest. I don’t like any of the work I do.

Sucks. I’ve been in this position before. Was a CS major and took a tech consulting job developing on Microsoft ERP platforms. The unwanted pigeonhole sucks. Here to chat if you’d like but won’t downplay the work required to pivot into what you want.

What did it take for you to pivot?
