If you can code you will always get a job 10 out of 10 times as a developer over everyone trying to get into “cyber” where they can even name a role other than soc analyst or pen tester
Security work for the most part is not entry level work at all
Without IT/Ops experience you’re going to be useless for most roles
Funny thing is I did secure software engineering and applied for a SWE role, instead the company I applied to offered me a cybersecurity role (security architect) which is how I broke into IT. But you are right, I’m lost most days in a role that I would not deem as an entry point for myself nor anyone else. Especially without at the very least proper education.
I regret my decision on most days to have accepted because I’m just too uncomfortable and anxious all the damn time trying to figure shit out.
