I’m a 28 year old female working in info sec for the last 2 years (was in dev before - Java). I’ve been at a bank for 5 years and looking to make the switch to FAANGMULA/second tier tech company but not having much luck. Any advice? I’m in a lead analyst role but also looking for something more challenging. YOE: 6 TC: 90k (Texas)
Keep applying. Search in LinkedIn and apply in company websites. It takes time to get your profile noticed by hiring manager or team. So keep applying
Any cloud experience? Lots of jobs in cloud security.
No experience but I’ve noticed the same and I’ve started looking into courses as it is a gap for me right now.
Have you tried tech companies in the financial space? PayPal has been hiring a lot. They have an Austin office. Other companies like Square, Coinbase, Robinhood, etc. might also be good options. WhatsApp is looking to get into payments. Adobe Commerce (Magento) also has an Austin office. My point is maybe you should try for companies that are regarded as tech that might help you bridge out. Also ask people here to refer you rather than applying cold.
