I’ve just started my cybersecurity career and wanted to get an idea of some high paying and interesting niches that I can work towards. Right now I do mainly AppSec and have some exposure in CloudSec, and I’m finding CloudSec quite interesting.
I’d be interested in things on the automation side as well (did an internship in a DevOps role before), so something like DevSecOps sounds interesting, but from what I’ve seen it’s mainly focused on automation and less security.
My goal is something in Silicon Valley where I’d be engaged but also be able to maintain a passable wlb. Any opinions on what and how to work towards those niches would be appreciated, thanks!
Edit: When I say passable wlb, I mean just that: “passable”. As long as it’s not something like an hft with 60 hour work weeks I don’t mind.
