When The Grind Breaks you: Why I Almost Quit Cybersecurity
Breaking into cybersecurity isn’t glamorous. It’s exhausting, discouraging, and at times mentally brutal.
In this episode of CyberGuardians, I open up about a recent crash-out moment where frustration with the job market nearly made me quit cybersecurity altogether. From endless applications to self-doubt, burnout, and the pressure to “just settle,” this episode is for anyone questioning their path.
We talk about:
Why knowing your why matters more than ever
The reality of the cybersecurity job hunt
Why SOC Tier 1 roles are underrated but critical
Mental health, burnout, and rebuilding momentum
Why quitting too early can cost you everything you worked for
If you’re a student, a career-changer, or someone stuck in limbo wondering if cybersecurity is still worth it, this episode is for you.
You’re not alone. And you’re not done yet.
🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Pandora, and YouTube (CyberGuardians Unlimited)
