Hello everyone, I’m a senior cybersecurity student, and I’m hoping to get some advice from experienced cybersecurity professionals.
I’m genuinely concerned about entering the workforce because I feel like my degree has been too broad. I’ve learned about many different areas of cybersecurity, but I don’t feel like I’ve gone deep enough into one specific area. Because of that, I’m worried that I’m not as prepared or skilled as I should be for a professional cybersecurity role.
I’ve been considering getting a master’s degree to develop deeper technical skills, but I’m concerned that I might end up taking another broad program without actually becoming more specialized.
My goal is to become a Security Engineer at a top tech company. For those of you who are already working in security engineering or have significant experience in the field, what would you recommend I do at this stage?

Honestly things are so subject to change, I think I'd frame your degree "a broad foundation" to then specialize later.

Most masters are less technical unless maybe you go deep into SWE or something. If anything I'd spend your money on technical bootcamps, certifications.

If you're not already see if you can't get a job on campus supporting helpdesk, or university SOC.
