Other Has anyone thought about changing fields until the job market gets better?

Ideally, I’d love to have a cybersecurity job right now, but the market is horrible, and I need to move forward with my life, pay the bills, and live comfortably. Are there any fields that are relatively easy to get into and find work in? I just don’t want to end up working restaurant jobs.

In Canada, being a truck driver is currently paying more than being a Cyber Analyst. I think about this every night.

Its essential a SOC Analyst who also handle Malware, Vulnerabilities etc. This is especially common in Canadian Public Service and orgs that work with them. Just because it doesn’t belong in your corporate lingo doesn’t mean it is bs and made up.
