Now that the week is behind me, I have assessed that it's time to start looking for a new job. My team lost our CISO in February, and mgmt placed us under the Operations director, and they do not know what they're doing, and don't have our backs. The whole team is burning out rapidly, and I don't think it's long before most of us start moving on.

That aside ๐Ÿซ  I had a nice Saturday taking a long walk and getting hot pot with my partner!

I'm sorry to hear that. I went to a company where the CISO left after being burned out, and the board of directors just put in a CISO from one of their consulting firms (so the guy wasn't even an employee with skin in the game!). This was only after the CISO position was empty for 6+ months.

What kind of work under Cyber are you in? The company I work for is hiring for a (few) positions if you're interested, assuming you live in the United States!

We're a security engineering group (other 2 teams are Compliance and SOC), so we do security automation, vuln mgmt, binary/ malware analysis, web app testing, SIEM management, level 2+ IR, etc. Basically anything that requires using a shell, or scripting. Right now I'm doing prep for a FedRAMP ATO attempt, so lots of image build pipeline work, prepping for ConMon reporting, etc.

Definitely interested in hearing what y'all are about (and I am in the US).
