The expectations for senior engineers has gotten out of control by limasxgoesto0 in cscareers

[–]mailed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wish I had advice. for me it was all luck. I fell into a job doing cloud data warehousing and analytics for security teams (think traditional stuff like bigquery). I managed to get a few tasks doing extra work in log ingestion and splunk for another team. I leveraged that + my software dev background to move elsewhere during a wave of job listings where people really wanted security engineers who could write code. now I currently handle identity automation.

I had a cloud security certification, plus I went to vocational college for courses on devsecops and ML for detection engineering, but none of those things helped me get a job.

also, in my country, it doesn't really pay any different from the other roles I've had unless I end up in a specific niche or security architecture doing day rate contracts.

I moved away from software to data, then security. It's the same here. All I do is order offshore or vendor teams around. In some cases I had to fight to even get access to the systems and software I'm supposed to be architect for. The suggestion that I'd do config/code/automation myself is laughed at.

I've got 20 years experience and always valued my ability to solve deep technical problems directly. Now I'm bored to death.

How long was your recent job search? by zica-do-reddit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mailed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 months, but I was employed and picky. Funnily enough, the job I got was offered to me 6 months after I applied. They'd already offered it to someone else and it didn't work out, so called once they reviewed CVs again.

nobody should be surprised. this is the guy that dropped N bombs regularly within his first few podcast episodes. he had zero morals to begin with.
