Title: The Cybersecurity Job Market: A Discrepancy Between Demand and Reality
In recent conversations, I’ve come across the recurring narrative of a significant shortage of skilled workers in the cybersecurity field. According to reports, there are purportedly millions of cybersecurity positions waiting to be filled. However, my personal experience in navigating the job market tells a different story.
