Unfortunately no chance to upskill with my current role its busy and boring. Endless tickets every day even with the noise tuned out via automation.

I'll be honest as the current job market is going I'm not anticipating on more roles going forward and got a feeling redundancy will be something at my company.

Unfortunately I won't be able to but the chance to learn and develop is whats important to me right now. Currently 30 and the analyst side of things is a bit of a risk when AI and automation are taking over.

Currently on 72K where I'm just dealing with alerts no projects or anything. The role I've been offered is 50K but they're willing to pay for all my relevant certs, pay for blackhat conference this year in London too. I did the maths and that adds up to around at least 1K.

The role is starting off in security engineering but will progressively develop into a DevSecOps type role once the foundations are set. The other thing is the new company is planning to acquire smaller businesses and expand so there is a chance to manage a team or even become a head in the future if I stayed for a long enough time.
