I agree with you. During economic upturns, such as the early days of the pandemic, companies often hire aggressively to outpace competitors. Some openly admit that new hires will face burnout conditions, while others are more subtle about it.
I'm personally trying a new format to present what cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is, and how CTI analysts contribute to investigations. Comments, questions, suggestions, feedback welcome. Thank you.
Currently working on refining my storytelling skills (threat intelligence). The goal is to present all the technical findings I come across every now and then in a more relatable manner: https://shorturl.at/dwyNX
I'm a threat intel analyst and recently started self-learning how to improve my storytelling skills, which is generally lacking in cybersecurity. I've refined my writing skills over the years, starting with Medium, LinkedIn newsletters, and now Substack: https://shorturl.at/jHKLQ
Stick-to-it-iveness.
I'm 35 and only recognized two years ago that I had developed the ability to commit to something. I found out that my key skills, which make my resume unique, were all gained through pursuing my interests and working hard on those skills: podcasting, video editing, graphic design, engaging with strangers both online and offline, understanding complex ideas, and so on. Now I advice anyone willing to listen that the number one thing that will guarantee adaptability when life inevitably throws lemons at you is the ability to "maneuver under fire" during uncomfortable choke points in life and still come out on top.
