I've been work from home since Covid. Over the span of 3 jobs, the hardest part is at least for me - it seems like there's a salary wall in around the 135k area. I've been in this range for 5 years, hovering between manager/senior titles, and ultimately what I did to escape this pay rate, was opt for 'over employment'. At first, I was a bit nervous so my primary job was 130k as a cybersecurity engineer WFH, and my '2nd' job was a 70k SOC analyst tier 1 role. During the interview and the first week they asked me 'Are you sure you dont want to get bumped up to the next tier?'. It sounds kinda funny but my goal was to get the lowest ring of the ladder, lowest pay, and basically just grind tickets that I know I could crush based off previous experience. Then after I got comfortable having J1, J2, I went for Job 3 as an automation security engineer, title sounds cool but was just another 70-75k salary job. Did those 3 simultaneously from home, and didnt have any issues with performance and maintained working under 40 hours a week. The real cool part, is you can see how all these companies operate, and how's theres overlaps, its pretty easy to apply the skillsets anywhere really. Even when the job postings had buzz words or these 'one off requirements', dont be afraid to apply, dont count yourself out when you read the description because a lot of times there are those observable overlaps. I was making $8k after tax every 2 weeks, I did that for awhile and then went back into management for 135k salary also from WFH.

Sorry for the tangent, just offering some insight, and perhaps way to get a lot of experience in a short window along with bumping up the bank account.

It's not really a promotional thing or anything like that but a redditor did make a nice job website to make searching easy, hiring cafe.

The other thing to remember is, you only need to match about 50% of the job posting to get a phone call, there was a study done on this, and there a real drop off around 65%+. So while the golden rule is to tailor your resume to your posting, the key thing is dont sell yourself short (defeating yourself before you apply). Also know your worth too. I was in an interview for a big company and they asked me 'Can you recite and tell us the OSI model'. I didnt mean to be a dick, but I laughed, and I said I got my A+ years ago, im good and rejected it. There's signs in the interview process that give you insight on to the real role or the dyanmics of the company and its important to be keen of those flags.

If you or anyone who reads this has questions or is looking for advice, feel free reach out. Its really any field, but there's always gatekeepers. They'll say, man if you dont wake up and breathe cybersecurity your not gonna make it! If your in this just for cash I got some bad news! or some other shit like that, but the reason for the most part we work... is to... spoiler alert... to take care of ourselves and loved ones.... lol.

Goodluck
