I’ve recently transitioned to infosec, a journey I documented through blog posts over time. Now, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with OffSec to write a summary of this transition, which is finally up on their website. In the article, I share my experience moving from software engineering to offensive security, discussing the challenges, the effort required for upskilling and certifications like OSCP, and the importance of community engagement. Despite obstacles, I successfully landed an offensive security role, and the experience has been incredibly rewarding.
