@hacks4pancakes "none of the jobs I just named are the typical entry level tracks of 'junior pen tester' and 'SOC analyst'"
I can only talk about pentesting but my stance has for long been that pentesting shouldn't have been an entry level position in the first place. Inviting people to this path with 0 experience in dev or ops is a scam that has long-term negative effects on the industry as a whole.
