What do you view as the most influential thing that helped you land your first cyber role?

What was your first cyber job?

Was it low/high tempo?

Did you get lucky/a break, as in the company took a chance on you, or did you have some solid skills already?

Asking because I’m in my first cyber role (80% GRC 20% endpoint security), and I feel I’ve gained little to no experience 8 months in. Just curious what’s the norm.
