Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Job seekers looking to transition to cybersecurity should begin by identifying the role that is right for them, finding a career mentor to guide them, joining learning communities, and developing the required skills. They should then build their online presence and experience by volunteering with the security team at their current job, telling their network about their career transition, building an online portfolio, and polishing their LinkedIn profile. Finally, it's time to apply for the job and prepare for interviews.
