Looking for a cybersecurity mentor: Arif's career change at 32
Seeking an experienced cybersecurity professional for guidance on the transition from stay-at-home parent.
Anywhere in the world549 views
I have worked as a stay-at-home parent for 11 years, and I'm 32. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed an online certificate.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Dhaka, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 45 minutes a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- industry experience, patience, honest feedback
