Ask HN: I have 7 years in IT Support and am not sure what is next for my career
Anyways, I am looking to see what other roles I can move to. Currently, it seems, that the demand is in Cyber Security. I am looking to take Coursera's Google Cyber Security program because I think I can knock that out by October and start looking for a job right after. I'm honestly looking for more remote roles (recruiters have told me that those are limited and rare, and hybrid is what I can hope for). Is this a good route?
I still like Web Dev (both front and end interest me and UI does to), and plan to pursuit it as a hobby down the line, but I need to, for my mental health (anxiety and depression) get out of my current role and possibly in a remote role so that I don't have to deal with office politics. For folks who are in Cyber Security (or anyone who wants to chime in) is this a good first step? I haven't really had a mentor in working in IT and would love some advice.
