I agree with what this article says. It's an eye opening on the current cybersecurity landscape, especially the job market and the so called "entry level" roles that actually can't be entry level! Would you call a first time C level job an "entry" level? Interesting reading.

A notable shift in cybersecurity staffing: after a period of rapid hiring, the workforce may have peaked. Rather than simply adding new positions, companies are focusing on upskilling and optimizing existing talent to manage evolving threats effectively. This change is a response to cybersecurity becoming more embedded across operations, where the need now is for specialized, high-impact roles. https://lnkd.in/ejpSu7kg #Cybersecurity #WorkforceDevelopment #TechTrends

I read an article today that stated: Security+ is the most popular certification among cybersecurity practitioners yet there is a vast imbalance between the number of people who hold the cert vs. the number of available jobs requiring it. So what's the solution when you have an entry-level cert, little to no experience, and the competition is stiff? 💡 Search in markets where jobs requesting Sec+ are more abundant than people who have the cert! Cyberseek is a great resource for finding underrated markets if you're willing and able to relocate. I did a little research and identified the top metro areas that have the most openings requesting Security+ compared to the number of people in that area who have the certification. 1️⃣ Topeka, Kansas 2️⃣ Little Rock, Arkansas 3️⃣ Lansing-East, Michigan Honorable Mentions: these areas have more people with the cert than available jobs, but the gap is significantly small compared to other areas. 1️⃣ Dover, Delaware 2️⃣ Rochester, New York 3️⃣ Cincinnati, Ohio 4️⃣ Nashville, Tennessee Would you consider moving to any of these cities for your next opportunity? #jobseekers #cybersecurity #cyberjobs
