After 15 years in finance, I’ve made the bold decision to switch careers and dive into the world of cybersecurity. This post marks the beginning of my journey—a personal and professional transformation driven by curiosity, frustration, and a desire for meaningful work. I reflect on what led me here, the challenges I face, and how I plan to navigate this complex new field. From setting up a personal lab to learning through platforms like Hack The Box, I’ll be documenting everything. This isn’t just a career change—it’s a chance to rebuild with purpose, and hopefully inspire others to do the same.
