I’m curious what people who’ve moved around in roles Network engineering, Security, DBA or even software specific roles, think of the Pros and Cons that these different job functions come with. I’m currently in my first IT job as a systems engineer at a smaller company and am good jack of all master of none. Our company encourages getting certs but also improving skills year to year and I’d like to consider moving towards a more focused role. What path would you recommend and what do you enjoy doing?

    Security 100%. I have some friends who are in security and the salaries they can pull are insane. If I could do it all over I'd choose security.

    No matter which area you choose, they all need managers. So if a whole area becomes obsolete tomorrow then you’re still valuable as a manager.
