throwawayokayi’m currently in school for networking but with AI popping off, do you guys fear what the future holds for CS and the other sectors of IT? even for engineering jobs, years ago these jobs were seen as the most secure but now it’s hard to say what the future holds
we are very early in the development of AI and it’s capabilities are so impressive
People who aren’t actually interested and are only studying cs cause they hear you can make a lot of money are not going to make it

Lil sleepyI have my security+, i have a job that I enjoy but curious what sort of roles should I look for with a security+ if I wanted to switch?
Something like a SOC a***yst or security a***yst. Working in a SOC sounds awful to me, so when I was looking for jobs, I was solely looking for security a***yst positions.
If you plan on switching, it'll help big time if you're already in IT because security positions really aren't very entry level imo. Think the only reason I got my job was because I was already familiar with one of the systems they use and had an interest in security.

I mean, FAANG/MANGA is the real acronym, but the MULA part came from established startups and Microsoft. It's not necessary at all, just more encompassing
