Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey everyone,

I've been working in application security for a year now primarily doing pentesting.While.its been a great learning experience,I'm finding the work becoming repetitive and I'm starting to get bored.

I'm considering making a switch to software development,as I have a solid grasp of programming.

My question to you all is Do you think companies will take a chance on me with background in application security but a strong passion and good understanding of software development?

Switch from pentesting to software developement- Grapevine

So I work in cybersecurity i have a chance to switch in Software dev(due to past exp) but in not sure if I'm interested or not in dev.

I was thinking to go in Devops. Anybody help?

Need suggestions

Hello,

After six years in IT Support, I've come to a realization: my current job lacks the learning and growth opportunities I crave. Each day feels like a repetition of customer support tasks, and I'm eager for a change. I've decided to make the leap into Software Development.

To equip myself with the necessary skills, I'm considering enrolling in an online learning platform like CRIO.DO, Scaler, or Bosscoder Academy. However, the fees for these courses are substantial, each exceeding 1 lakh. Before I commit, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences:

Which platform would you recommend for someone transitioning from IT Support to Software Development?
Have you or anyone you know successfully transitioned careers through these platforms?
Do you believe enrolling in these courses will truly help in securing a Software Development role?
I appreciate any insights or advice you can offer as I embark on this journey of career transformation.

Thank you! 🚀🔧

How can a penetration tester at service based company can shift to product based comapny

I am 32, and I am currently working in IT support (Incident/problem management. I have currently working in my company for 7 years, and I am currently very much underpaid even though my managers and management are happy with my work. 
I have tried to switch into the same domain in another companies but they are expecting me to lower down the salary, and then I came to know that this job role doesn't yield much and growth is dead end. 
So, I am looking to switch into Devops since I find it interesting after exploring other options. May I ask whether it is possible to make a switch after 11 years in the IT industry and how much realistically it is possible? I would appreciate your suggestion and feedback. Thank you

Career transition at 32 Possible??

Hey everyone,
I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes.

So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. 

The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. 

What should I do?

Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

Switch or not

Hi Folks,

I am a penetration tester having 7 years of experience. Though I am doing pretty well in my current role, I am not feeling the impact it creates. Security is seen as a support function and does not bring real value other than audit reports for the sake of regulatory requirements.

Building something gives the real impact on thousands of customers. I want to switch to SDE roles, willing to put whatever the effort it takes. 

Suggestions please.

I have 10+ years of experience as QA automation engineer and now I am thinking about changing the movement from QA profile to Dev profile as I have seen some of the exponential growth in dev profile, I am sure If I am thinking it correctly but I think this would be a good decision for me so Posting here to get some feedback about it.

Switching to Dev Profile

Software Developer

Short version:-So guys I am working as an automation tester wanted to switch to Development?

Long version:- So i joined my current  company as fresher.Had basic knowledge of java then was trained on java spring boot Microservices devlopment. Then put on bench for about 5 month(i actually wasted that time).Now got a project I do automation using python and selenium.I don't like doing it . So now I want to switch to development. Confused should i learn Django, Node js or should stick with java spring only. I am more inclined towards django as now i write automation script in python. And i personally feel it to be better then java (maybe cause it is easier to write).But i don't know market trends. That's why guidance needed.Thanks in advance

Help Needed career switch From automation to Development

Hi everyone,

I’m currently pursuing my MCA and in my last semester. As part of my academic career, I need a job or internship to submit the report for my final semester, so I grabbed this opportunity. I’m working at RBL Bank as an Associate Application Support Engineer, where my tech stack includes Oracle, RPA, Python, and Postman API.

However, my real interest lies in development, specifically as a Java Developer or Fullstack Developer. If I get an opportunity to work as a developer, will my internship experience and current salary make an impact, or will I have to start as a fresher?

I’d appreciate any advice or insights from those who have made a similar transition.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Viners,

Cybersecurity analyst looking for a switch

Hi, to give a little background, I started working as a data scientist in a quite well paying startup straight out of college. (CS grad from a tier-2 engineering college, NIT/IIIT)
But due to having more interest in software engineering, I picked up mostly engineering work (I've mostly worked using Java, springboot, python, flask, fastAPI etc). But now after 1.5 years of experience i want to switch to swe roles, my query is, will my current role i.e. 'data scientist' be a road blocker, even if I've many engineering works to mention in my resume? 

And is there a way to resolve this, without switching roles internally, as the team said it takes 6-12 months to do this due to company policy, and i really don't wanna be stuck here for that amount of time anymore.

Cybersecurity transition

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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.

Need Career Advice.
