Only getting rejections for SecEng positions, is my CV too weak? Do I need more Exp.?
Hey,
I'm currently applying for new grad level to 3 years exp. (Application/Prod) Security Engineering positions, hoping to get into next years H-1B lottery, but only getting rejections. What am I doing wrong? Or is that expected? So far about 110 applications to 31 companies (FAANG etc.).
My CV (tldr version): Currently finishing my masters degree in Cybersecurity (1 year to go), had some internships in pentesting/sec consulting/research, have now had my first full time position in AppSec/Infra in a FinTech for half a year in Germany.
I have certs (several cloud ones and OSCP, going for SANS GCIA next), have developer and SRE skills too (SWE, JS, React, Java, Spring, C, Python, IaC, SaaS, etc.) (but I'm not looking to become an SWE/SRE).
Also: I'm a German in Germany without a visa and only applying for positions in the US.
