What's grating on my nerves is that I called out a lot of security concerns in courts & justice software and shortly after was constructively dismissed.

I've been unemployed ever since.

I'm getting antsy about income and getting no traction on my job search.

How many other people are advanced in tech but having some difficulty finding work right now?

How tempted will they be to switch to black hat for income?

I can't be the only one thinking this way.



It's really bad right now. I've learned to not stir the pot over the years. Unless you're primary role is security it's best to go with the flow. I've seen some massive security holes at every company I've worked at. As long as the boxes are checked for insurance, they don't care.


I’ve quit looking. I found myself dragging my butt out of bed and to a coffee shop to spend all day fabricating new versions of my resume in order to not get jobs that I didn’t want anyway.

If you know any black hat tips, feel free to send them my way… lol
