Hey people Software dev here with 7+ years of experience, tech stack is mostly Java/Typescript/Angular/Node. I'm kinda sick of the day-to-day business of solving bugs and the occasional new feature and would like to dive into the cybersecurity industry. Was hoping my experience is somewhat useful for that.
Do you know the place to start for someone who would like to switch careers like that?
Ex-devs generally gravitate towards "DevSecOps"/Cloud/AppSec roles. There is a need in the infosec industry to have competent developers so if you have that skillset you need only to pick up some cyber know-how. Portswigger has their web security academy and there is OWASP which provides a ton of great resources. Start getting into those things and put them on your resume and you should start to have a path into infosec.
