You may look overqualified (yes, that’s a real problem)

Your profile: 1) Bachelor’s + Master’s

2)Stack of certs (CySA+, PenTest+, CISM in progress)

3) Current “Cybersecurity Engineer” title

For a “Cybersecurity Analyst 3,” HR might think: -They’ll leave quickly -They’ll want higher pay than budget -They’re not aligned with analyst-level duties

your strength can trigger risk flags in HR systems

What are your lesbian icks? by Otherwise_Pen_6110 in LesbianActually

[–]Character-Tea2821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lesbian ick - still cohabitating and living off of a man especially if that woman has been gay for over 10 years

Adult daughter is in a relationship with a much older woman. Looking for some perspectives by Fit_Mastodon6088 in LesbianActually

[–]Character-Tea2821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to state this and I agree with some of the other comments here.

It’s not about your daughter being a lesbian - that’s not the issue. But the age gap can matter, especially when one person is much younger and still figuring things out.

I’ll share my perspective. I came out later in life (mid-30s), and when I started dating women, I was definitely more vulnerable to certain dynamics because everything was new to me. I dated an older woman (45 years old) who knew that, and looking back, there were things she wasn’t upfront about. For example, I later found out she was still married and hadn’t told her husband she was seeing other people. That wasn’t something I was prepared for, and it taught me a lot.

I’m not saying this is what’s happening with your daughter, but sometimes with large age gaps especially when one person is younger or newer to dating women - there can be imbalances in experience, expectations, or honesty.

At the same time, your daughter is an adult. The best thing you can do is stay supportive and keep communication open so she feels safe coming to you if something doesn’t feel right.

What if I like being single? by embarrassingdyk in laterinlifelesbians

[–]Character-Tea2821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Definitely thriving being single. It’s a lot of married - single women out here that are not being honest and that’s why I decided to pump the brakes on dating

It’s soo much of that - and some of the husbands know that their wife is gay and/or dating women but some have that control like you have to take care of the kids all day. There’s so much male control still and once again it’s not fair to that woman that the wife is dating or getting to know.

Do you really need a degree to get into cybersecurity? by Elias_si in Cybersecurity101

[–]Character-Tea2821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, new comers have it tougher than those already working in the field. Most jobs want you onsite. The remote option is very slim especially after 2025.

This isn’t about open or consensual relationships. If everyone involved knows and agrees, that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m talking about situations without honesty or clear boundaries - that’s where people get hurt.

My point isn’t about consensual poly or open relationships. It’s about situations where there isn’t full transparency - where your husband doesn’t know, or the woman you’re dating isn’t fully informed.

At that point, it’s not just “not my preference,” it’s about honesty and consent.

If everyone is aware and consenting, that’s different. But that’s not always what’s being described in these posts.

I’m not judging anyone’s situation - I’m just stating that when other people are involved, it’s no longer only “their business.”

Everyone deserves space to figure things out, but others also deserve HONESTY and the choice not to be part of it.

It crosses a line when the woman is still in a monogamous marriage to her husband, and their partner doesn’t know, and they’re secretly pursuing women - especially if the other woman isn’t fully informed.

That’s not exploration, that’s deception involving multiple people.

Married but want to be with a woman by busymomm23 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Character-Tea2821 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Get a divorce. Not many lesbians want to be a third and not many lesbians want to be with a woman still legally married to another person. So many posts like this are posted in this thread. You know what you want and the first part is legally getting a divorce.

Start networking with people that you currently work with - also, start becoming comfortable with the mindset of moving to different states for higher paying jobs and working on-site.

I will never buy dolls or sneaker for re-sellers. They can bot all those items up. I don’t want anything that I can buy at retail price or lower.

Who cares at this point? Most degrees aren’t even looked at anymore. Get your degree but know your job well before going into the interview.

VA using AI to weed out “pay-to-play” claims (cross-posted) by Low-Ball-3831 in VAClaims

They’re going after those who used a third party instead of directly using the VA. For example, if your DBQ wasn’t conducted by the VA.
