The Cybersecurity Paradox: The Market Isn't Dying, It's Maturing, and We Need to Thank the Villains.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/1pme1n6/the_cybersecurity_paradox_the_market_isnt_dying/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey everyone, I'm seeing a ton of posts from people saying the cybersecurity job market is cooked, especially for entry-level. It feels awful, but let's be realistic: it's not dying, it's just maturing. Too many people flooded the gate with the same resume: A boot camp, a Security+ cert, and zero practical IT/networking experience. Companies realized that hiring a dozen Tier 1 SOC analysts with no troubleshooting skills wasn't sustainable. We created an expectation that you could jump from zero to six figures just by passing a multiple-choice test. The Reality: That bubble has popped. The market is now filtering out people who can't actually do the work. I believe demand for specialized people is still high but for newbies who need 2 years of hand holding is dying. Let's Be Honest: We Need the Villains This is the cold truth about our entire industry, and why the jobs will never truly die. If every single black hat hacker, ransomware group, and nation-state actor vanished tomorrow, 80% of our jobs would disappear with them. We rely on the escalating sophistication of the attacks to guarantee our budgets and our high salaries. The criminals are the only reason the C-suite takes us seriously. They are the ultimate job security. THEN SHOULD WE THANK THE VILLAINS? or become one to help others? I hope my mouse will not ring after this💀 <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/maxlowy (https://www.reddit.com/user/maxlowy)
