Security isn't going anywhere anytime soon. If you think about the timelessness of war - how those creating weapons always seem to profit, it's kind of like that. Basically an internet defense soldier, and the demand right now is pretty much sky high. Places seem desperate enough in this space to actually train people unlike the software space.

Just look off Indeed or anywhere specific? Asking for OP.

Cosigning security as a stable job, but also noting that security at the vast majority of companies is tremendously boring. Usually, it means you're a SOCII check-box checker. Pays well though and, like the parent says, it's only becoming more important.

security, absolutely. I moved, partially, out of SE by title because of it.

I will say entry level security positions can truly suck, and you may be treated with a lack of respect in the org. That said the pay is good, and as the demand goes up I think the positions will become better.
