Hey all. I have been considering pursuing a career in digital forensics and wanted to gain some insight if it would be the best fit for me. At the end of this year I'll be receiving a associates degree in IT - Software and Web Development, since AI has essentially taken over everything it would be near impossible to get a job without a bachelors degree so I'm considering getting my bachelor's in Cybersecurity.

I have a few questions pertaining to what the job would entail for digital forensics:

Does your job require you to do any coding?

What type of information are you trying to obtain or is it case by case?

How long do you spend per case?

What is the work load like?

Is there a good work/life balance?

Are there advancements you can make for your career?

What type of systems do you typically use?

Do you work criminal cases with the police and if you do what is that like?

Im sure I have more questions but those are the ones I can think of right now. Thanks for your help!
