Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had experience switching to a different ‘field’ or ‘niche’ within cybersecurity after a few years? What’s the best way to go about this? My background: GRC & vulnerability mgmt; very comfortable with scripting in python. My interests: switch to a more true blue team role like threat intel/CTI or threat hunting; I’d honestly probably love IR if it didn’t require on-call. Is it enough to just frame my resume with my transferable skills? Self-train on the side? Or would I have to basically get an entry level blue team job ? I have no interest in starting over salary-wise or starting over in a SOC (I’m just around 6-figures now), so what are the best options? Would love to hear from anyone who has jumped around to different disciplines even if it doesn’t totally match my goals!
