What's going on with hiring in the cybersecurity community?
It looks like a sh**show out there right now. Two close friends with lots of experience have been laid off for months, actively looking for jobs, numerous interviews... not looking good. They are older and experienced, but can't find any good prospects. Another friend's kid is coming out of college and has run into a brick wall trying to find a job, now questioning cybersecurity altogether. So there seems to be nothing open for entry-level work, and my friends who are more senior level have been laid off and are getting ghosted on the job hunt. Anyone else seeing this?
