IT & Information Security

Hi Everyone,

I have been working as an API Developer for the past 2 years and 6 months, and I am keen to transition into a career in cybersecurity. I would love to understand how this shift would impact my career and what key aspects I should focus on during this transition.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, guidance, or insights that can help me navigate the right path toward cybersecurity. Looking forward to your valuable advice!

Career Advice

I have been working at my current organization for 2.6 years and started with a CTC of ₹8 lakh, which has remained unchanged since my joining. During this period, I have not received any promotions or salary hikes, which has made me question whether I should wait for growth within the company or explore external opportunities.

I am hopeful of getting a promotion in June this year, but I am unsure if it’s worth waiting for. Here’s what I am considering:

1. Stay and wait for the promotion: There’s a possibility of career progression in June. Should I wait for it, considering the time and effort I have invested here?

2. Start looking for a new opportunity: I could begin exploring other organizations where I might receive a better salary, role, and career growth. However, leaving without securing my next promotion feels uncertain.

I would appreciate suggestion:

Whether I should wait until June or start looking for better option or if you have something else please tell me in comments

Day to Day Office

So, there’s this colleague who seems to be going behind my back. They’re emailing the line manager and complaining about everything I do, decisions, situations, even my work. It feels like they’re keeping tabs on me just to criticize.

What’s the best way to deal with someone like this? Should I confront them or just keep doing my thing?

Backstabbing Colleague

Okay, so I have this colleague sitting right in front of me, and he doesn’t stop talking all day. I’ve tried putting on headphones, but this guy still waves his hands in front of my face like, “Oye Oye, ek baat sun !” 

Leaving my desk isn’t an option because my work would suffer, and there’s no extra space in the office to relocate.

How do I politely deal with this without causing awkwardness or making it seem like I’m being rude?
