Has anyone else noticed the lack of junior security analyst positions? I moved across the country and am looking for a new job but am seeing mostly senior, management and information security cyber roles available, which I am not qualified for.
I’ve applied to dozens of local and remote entry level analyst security roles but am not getting any interviews even with 2 years of SOC experience and 9 years of IT support under my belt. The job descriptions call for 3+ years security experience.
I’m trying to get the security+ cert to boost my chances, as I only have the AZ-900 cert right now. It seems that AI and the poor economy are wiping out the entry level SOC jobs? Now I’m thinking about working a non-cyber IT job for the time being. Is anyone else in the same boat? Should I just keep applying to cyber jobs? I’ve been jobless for two months now!
