Want to switch my job

Manufacturing Engineer

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.

Hi everyone I am a 2nd year Btech student and I have interest in the field of cybersecurity but one thought that keeps bugging me is why is it a not much spoken about or common job field even today when so much digitalisation has occurred . As amount of data being handled by big techs keep increasing so should their safety measure to protect it which should lead to more investment into cybersecurity fields by them.

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.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hi. I am currently working as an SQL Engineer - Support with almost 2 years of experience and 6 months of internship experience as Business Analyst (Stakeholder Management). I want to switch to Data Analyst profile as that was the field that I wanted to pursue my career in but due to the COVID pandemic, I accepted this profile.

I have done MCA from a Mumbai University affiliated college in 2022 and have an understanding of the general Data Analyst stack (SQL, Excel, Tableau, Power BI, Alteryx, Python). I have also completed various personal projects for my portfolio on the technologies mentioned above.

I have been applying for various Analyst/BI/Data Analyst related jobs since last year's October but haven't heard back from anyone. I want to understand what I am doing wrong or how should I change my approach regarding the job switch. 

Any suggestions/guidance is welcomed.

Switching to Data Analyst

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

Is getting into IIM to get into PM role justified?

System Engineer

Hey everyone, So I have done my Bachelors in Engineering and I am thinking of switching to the role of Business Analyst. I was wondering if anyone could help me out wether it’d be a good idea or not also if I make the switch which skills or tools should I work on to make my profile look good or stand out. Other than that I am thinking of doing MBA so I am starting to prep for GMAT too so if you guys could give input on that would appreciate that. Thank you. The reason being for me switching is that my field is not giving me any job openings or opportunities which I can look or commit for a longer period of time.
