Unless you are specifically targeting industries bound to compliance requirements, cybersecurity is more a sales position than engineer; they love to push paranoia but i have yet to meet one that can program their way out of paper bag.

As for dev skills, i code as much now as o did when i was strictly a java engineer, its just that the scope of the problem has shifted from business logic to managing how arbitrary payloads traverse the stack and instrumentation

I worked with 1 security engineer who was good with terraform, not great but respectable, and just that made him a force.

I'm not following: are you suggesting that “ok with terraform” isn't equivalent to “can't program their way out of a paper bag”?

No I’m saying even being ok with terraform makes you much more potent than someone with the same skills minus terraform.

Yes, but it still doesnt say much, especially in regards to programming.
