Hi Im Heather, two years ago I decided to switch career paths to infosec so I went and got my masters in it and now Iโm a soc analyst. I went from waiting tables to a dream of a career. Thereโs a multitude of ways into this field, a degree was simply mine. Gratitude feels today.

Some positives in 2020. I went from waiting tables at the beginning of 2020 to leading and building out a soc. I finished my ms in infosec. Made tough life decisions and grew up. 2021 goals: take on OSCP prep. Become security engineer. Be a solid example and kick more ass โ๏ธ

Idc what anyone says, salary and merit increases are a reflection of how a company values their employees. You donโt retain talent by telling your hardest workers they are worth less than market value or by giving them a 2% raise

Security isnt for everyone but it CAN be for anyone. Case in point, I used to be a kindergarten teacher. I have a ma in education. I can speak 5 year old. Career changes yield transferable skills, like being able to make my point in simple terms. Sometimes this has its advantages

5 years ago I wouldโve never expected to be working in information security. A year ago when I was trying to get a job in security I wouldโve never expected to be sitting in security leadership meetings. You WILL exceed your own expectations in this field. Kinda insane.

The biggest service you can do for someone especially in infosec is giving them the chance to learn. A concept,a skill. A lot of ppl are so quick to dismiss someone if theyre brand new at something but not a single person has not been there. Help someone by seeing their potential
