Similarly, most cybersecurity professionals I know are not tracking any long term goals or have not even made any !

They seem content to do the same 9–5 grind year after year

“I get no response from recruiters no matter how many cybersecurity jobs I apply to “

“My salary is not enough and I am not getting any growth”
