I've just seen on someone's internal bio: "I have a master's degree in cybersecurity and am actively working to transition into the technology space."

Say what? How could someone have a master's in #cybersecurity but not already be "in the technology space."? I never use the word cyber unironically, but for those who do use it unironically, isn't it largely synonymous with technology?

@paco Degree, but not job?

[ehproque@neopaquita.es]

@mttaggart @paco or masters and unrelated job

@paco Hmm. Perhaps one of the ways he's "transitioned" into the "technology space" is to rely on a chatbot to write his bio?

[alien8@infosec.exchange]

@paco it depends where they did the Masters and what the content of the course was. Most maters in this are not technical at all.. risk/compliance/governance focused.

@paco

i'd have to put this in the same "warning label" category as anyone with "serial entrepeneur" in their linkedin profile or CV.
