Feeling Stuck as a New Security Engineer—Should I Stay or Move On?
SecurityEngineerCareerDevelopmentMentorshipJobSatisfactionCybersecurityTools
A new security engineer expresses feeling stuck after three months in their first job. While they appreciate their team, they find the training insufficient, limited to instructions like "read the documentation" or "copy similar tickets," which doesn't help them master tools like CrowdStrike, Splunk, or Palo Alto. Only one person is willing to show them the ropes. They are considering looking for other opportunities that offer better mentorship and practical experience.
