What other careers can you pursue?
A career as a pentester means you have mastered certain technical and soft skills, so it can help prepare you for any new roles in the industry. I’ve typically seen pentesters move into other types of pentesting (that is, application instead of infrastructure) or move into leadership roles in the C-suite. Your penetration testing skills can also be applied to careers, like threat hunter, red team specialist, security consultant, incident responder, and security architect.
