Hey all,
I'm a C++ developer struggling to land solid jobs lately, even with decent experience. I'm seriously considering shifting toward cybersecurity — partially because I find it really interesting (especially reverse engineering and hacking in general), and partially because I feel like job prospects might be better.

My question is:

• Would transitioning into cybersec make sense career-wise? Is it actually easier to land work in this field compared to low-level C++ roles?

• Would my background give me any kind of head start (thinking in terms of systems knowledge, memory layout, etc)? Or would I still be starting almost from scratch like everyone else?

Also curious what subfields I should look into that fit a C++/systems programming brain. Thanks.
