Do I have at shot cybersecurity as a career?
For context, I’m 35M. Worked as a software QA for almost 12 years with 5 years in automation testing. Jobless for about a year now due to retrenchment. I just think QA is no longer for me and the current job market now for this role is pretty bad, at least in my country. Ever since I’m really interested in hacking though haven’t got a chance to learn it deeply. I explore wireshark, packet sniffing etc. but really didn’t have a proper learning path. I’m familiar with linux and ubuntu is my main desktop for about a year now. I just think this is an exciting role and really want to enter the industry. Now I just started the TryHackMe Cybersecurity 101 course and started looking at Jeremy’s IT lab CCNA course on YouTube.
Is this doable for me?
How difficult is it for me to switch to this role?
What is the current job market look like?
Any advice for learning path, materials?
Are certifications helpful for this role?
Thanks. I might have some grammar error as English is not my native language. 😁
