Ask HN: Getting foot between the door in cybersecurity

Dear all,

I'm a fullstack developer with about 12 years of experience. I have been about 4 years interested in cybersecurity and have studied it independently. For example, I have completed certifications CSSLP and OSCP.

My challenge is that to get work in cybersecurity jobs it seems that you need some experience in such work. I'm a senior developer but as a security person I'm novice. However, I have an idea that getting some "security developer" type role would be a good starting point, and then I could little by little move to a more cleanly security job. Especially I'm interested in jobs about reverse engineering and pen testing.

Would you have any tips on how to achieve transition to cyber security? I'm situated in Finland.
