The post is from an IT/CS student nearing graduation who has doubts about pursuing cybersecurity. They ask whether industry pessimism on social media is accurate or if job roles have evolved with AI integration, and why companies may not be hiring junior candidates despite reported high demand. The student also seeks cybersecurity sub-fields suited to their interests in Linux (CLI), networking, and tech, while noting they are not strong in algorithmic coding. Additionally, they request clarification on the actual day-to-day work in cybersecurity beyond its perceived glamour.
