    I work in Cybersecurity, Incident Response specifically.
    I started off in IT and spent a lot of years as a sysadmin (Windows, mostly). A couple jobs ago, I often worked closely with the security team and when they had an opening, they all but held a gun to my head to get me to apply to move over. Some years and a few internal promotions later, I got a message on LinkedIn which (in part) read:

    I came across your LinkedIn and thought you might be a great fit for a Sr. Information Security Analyst role that my team currently has open. It’s a fully remote opportunity with one of our top clients. Would you be open to a brief call to discuss further?

    I said yes and now I’m a making good money while reading other peoples’ email in my pajamas.
