Would like assistance to get into the cyber security field - build on the skills I've learned at the UWA bootcamp. Exercises how to be an excellent pen tester and to make the transition form a software developer to the security field.

Years of experience

Short term goals (1-2 years)

Would like to work in the cyber security - field if I'm not able to secure a job as a junior pen tester or junior SOC analyst. Will look for a help desk job.

Effort spent to achieve those goals

For the last few months studying at UWA. Busy with a cybersecurity bootcamp.
Brushing up on Linux and the bash commands. After this will take the security+ exam.
Also been doing some exercises on "overthewire".

Long term goals (3+ years)

In three years - hopefully busy with pen testing or Soc Analyst.
