BurnoutDFIRCareerAdviceCybersecurity
The author of the post expresses that they have reached a state of chronic burnout in their current role in DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) and can no longer perform at the same level. They feel that everything is laborious and nothing seems to work, even after vacations and rest. They are seeking recommendations on the best path forward: returning to the SOC (Security Operations Center) or joining a more stable and structured internal blue team during their recovery.
