This is an IT job in a nutshell

Fun to watch once, but definitely not a “rewatch every Christmas” kind of fun movie. So much bad crap just happens over and over again and it just doesn’t feel like a happy story!

So I’m planning for the future career move, right now I’m mostly overseeing a pentesting group with a little bit of participation during the tests. I’ve coded many projects over my time in many languages, but I really enjoyed doing reverse engineering of malware and various other things as they popped up years ago. I can’t imagine there’s a lot of that available, though. I have a GREM, GPEN, GCIH, and GASF from SANS (I wanted to get more but the company stopped paying for distance travel the last few years). I’m currently 100% remote in the US mid-Southwest and really enjoy it. I’ve got 13 years of a large variety of professional experience in the cybersecurity and general IT world, with a little bit of a dip into OT with some ICS classes. I’m also trained in digital forensics imaging and handling, as I’ve spent some time working for a law enforcement branch (that was a wild ride)

My main question that I have these days is… what would I call myself, professionally? What types of jobs should I be looking to do. I can do management and leadership but I like getting my hands dirty and solving problems.

Thank you.

I dunno, that’s a huge plot of land it’s sitting on. That’s easily a $350k fixer upper project home! It’s got personality! No noisy neighbors!
