I want to make career in cyber security analyst

I've 5 years of experience in startups working around multiple programming languages and working all the way from Backend to Databases to DevOps. For the past 2 months I've applied to more than 200+ global companies or startups who hire remotely. I don't know what I am doing wrong because I got rejected from most of them. One pointer I've seen is most of them are hiring for more senior folks. Companies I've applied like - Ghost.org, fly.io, toggl, buffer.com etc. The competition for these organizations are furious I know that but what can I do to improve my chances? Because I've tried the referral way as well they do not give referral to people they do not know. Any suggestions?

I have done course on fullstack in 2023 but i did not got a single call or job offer for fresher. I am really fed up now and depressed. I have to look after me myself and do everything bcz of no leader in my family. Plesse suggest me what shall I do. Is it fine to apply jobs with fake experience? Will that help and will it be fine? Thank you!

I haven't change job in 17 years. I started here as a fresher and I am here still. Salary is bad but I can't blame the organization. Don't want to dwell on past (because I do it daily). I am Wintel Server Engineer for 11 years and did that is there to do. Then I was asked to do Infrastructure Management of our Network Security Devices and EDR Solutions. So my job helps the cybersecurity teams of my organization but I don't feel I am really doing cybersecurity. With this profile I do not get interviews calls. I have taken subscription of Acloudguru, tryhackme and plurasight to upskill myself . Have enrolled myself to SIEM training (arcsight and splunk) basically this training for freshers who want to get into SOC Analyst role. Now, I don't know what should I do ..I want to be in Defensive Security Operations type role but I need money soonest as well. I am thinking doing Security +, CEH and CySA certs ...studying is difficult...focusing is difficult. What should I do....please help.

Currently I’m working with a finance company as a operations manager for an year now. It is my first full time job after graduating. I only have one year of experience as of now. The thing is altho my role is completely remote and I’m getting around 80k per month, and work life balance is good. I don’t get much work load but I’m not getting any new skills and also I don’t enjoy the role or the company. I want to pursue a career as a Security analyst or similar domain but it’s hard to get into this department. Should I continue in this company or switch to another with my preferred role.

Teammates can guide me to get more projects so that I can help my friends startup to get a financial fit. Also i am looking for another job because I am not able to learn more with him 😞.

I am working in Deloitte right now in Hyderabad but as a contractor. The job I have is a help desk analyst aka service desk analyst. But, I am and always have been interested in Cybersecurity. I have a couple of certifications in Cybersecurity but nothing industry standard like CompTIA Security+ which by the way I am planning to get soon. I want to work as a Cybersecurity analyst or anything related to Cybersecurity in Deloitte. How do I do that. What do I need, what do I have to do, what do I have to have. Basically how do I proceed. Is it possible? Please help me!! Please!!!

Need guidance please. 2022 passout. Currently working as a Cybersecurity Analyst, the project is more like a Technical Support Role. Have to connect with the user and troubleshooting in their laptop if issue required. Here I have to work in 3 different shifts like for morning 5.30 am or from night 9pm to 6.30 am or at afternoon from 2pm and it's changing weekly. And also have to report to the office now in those timings. I want to change the domain to different role like backend or frontend or in the same domain I want to switch to a different company. Is it good to resign without having any other selection ( I am good to sit without any company for 2-3 months)? If I resign and will sit for 3-4 months without working in any company, does the next company which I will apply for interviews or openings, will not allow me to sit in their interviews? Or would not go with my resume? And what could else I have to face . Need truthful guidance.
