How is the job market for entry level in this industry?

I’m a software dev grad who never got hired after graduating because of really unfortunate timing of AI happening, and I’m researching the viability of nearby potential careers.

Let me first say. I don’t really know. I haven’t been looking for jobs (thankfully) and I’m not entry-level. That said, I’ve heard it’s pretty rough 🤷‍♂️. That said here’s some stuff I’ve written about in the past that could be useful/interesting for you…

My take on the current infosec job market

Thoughts on a career in infosec

How to get into infosec

Some commentary on how breaking into infosec can be hard

On the subject of gatekeeping in this field

A big resource on my path into infosec and reviews of certs/trainings I’ve taken.

My caution on those who would give you stale career advice. To be clear, this means from me too.

Good luck out there!

  Wow. After reading all of that and seeing what you’ve been through, all I can say is that infosec somehow seems worse off than I even imagined. I feel like I’m standing in front of a series of hundred story walls telling me to try harder.
